tesa 7006 Sensitive Surfaces Low Tack Masking Tape, 7 Days Residue Free Removal, 30 mm x 50 m

Really excellent tape - has about the same amount of stickiness as a post-it note, so can be stuck down hard enough, but comes off easily (mostly) without taking off delicate paint. Does suffer some paint bleed, so needs some precautions if doing something super-precise, but for cutting in paint in corners or whatever, it works just fine.

I had some decorating to do and I bought this tape hoping it would save the usual mess I make everywhere paint joins paint or paint joins carpet.And it worked.Scarily, I had forgotten about a bit behind the chest of drawers and it was six days before I went back to retrieve it - came off clean and nice and no residue or peeling.I am impressed!it sticks fiorst time, it comes off clean and no bleed through, what more could you want from masking tape!!!

Probably better than normal masking tape. It didn't work perfectly as a small amount of paint did come off but it did give a clean edge. I suspect on the part it did come off it had been pressed on harder than the areas where it didn't, so when I use it again I'll take care not to press down more than absolutely necessary. The extra width is very helpful. Only used it overnight so didn't test the 7 day feature.

I bought this tape thinking it would help me to paint a straight line. The paint went underneath the tape and caused an awful mess. It fell off one of the other paintings, which was bone dry I might add, so that wouldn't have been an issue. In my opinion it's USELESS, but at least Amazon refunded my money. What did annoy me, was the mess which it caused and the work that I had to do to clear up the mess... If I could put ZERO I would

I'm an artist, and I use watercolours quite frequently; my current low-tack masking tape (Kleenedge low tack) had a bad habit of taking off the top layer of my paper when I was removing it from the drawing board, but since I purchased this tesa low tack masking tape I have the opposite problem!It just peels right off... I have to use a number of strips to hold the edges down to secure paper on the board, and watercolour can bleed right underneath it (especially with a wash which is when I need it most). When you need to use masking tape to hold down your masking tape you have a problem.Also peeling masking tape ends bother me to the bottom of my sad little soul I'm always trying to flatten everything back down.(FYI, I bought some masking tape from Wilko and it does seem better for a fraction of the price and no ruined art I think I'll risk it.)

I bought this tape to mask out on a paper surface. It works very well and does not damage the surface of the paper. It is a good idea however to tease the tape off the paper surface rather than just rip it off. The supplier's service was excellent also.

I have been unable to get the Tesa tape I usually use to anchor my watercolour paper to my board so decided to try this one.Whilst it is OK it does not stay fixed for long enough and quickly starts to lift. I know I am a "very wet" water-colourist so the problem may lie with me ... it would be fine to use for this if one is "quick and dry" but if you do a lot of wet-on-wet then it is far from ideal.

Very low tack, but ideal for my use, bought more since.
