This tape features Edge-Lock Technology that seals out paint to deliver sharp paint lines and clean removal for your more sensitive projects, including accent walls, decorative stripes and patterns.

Review: Je l'utilise pour sabler les deux parties qui fait contact entre la roue et le disque sur mon véhicule lors de mes changement de pneus afin d'avoir une surface propre et exempt de rouille.
Review: Works great. However if you have glass tiles like I do, this tool scratches the glass horribly. I knew this, but didn't care. The pool looks so much better with the calcium removed.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Have aluminum rollup door thats baked on paint and painted lettering on it. Will this remove the lettering paint and leave the baked on paint?**
A: This product will remove all paint if you are not careful.

**Q: Need to remove some elastomeric paint from a deck, anyone used this product for that sort of thing?**
A: Could work,  but would likely clog the disc. These are best for removing costings that will create dust and not build up in

**Q: 3m item 03173, add shows a (3pack) but what is the price. or do you have to buy 3 @ 9.40. ?**
A: the 9.40 price is from Amazon, so I am not really sure what they are doing. I am guessing for 9.40 you get just one wheel.

**Q: I have already polished steel parts with a wire wheel, and they're bright. What affect on appearance will using this have?**
A: My guess is it will be a duller metal polished finished. I've only used on aluminum and it left a gray matte finish. I was stripping to repaint so finish wasn't a concern.
