Building & Construction

Choosing a tape that performs well with low surface energy (LSE) materials can make or break your boat-building process right from the start.

Choosing quality masking and painter’s tape is critical, as the durability of these products can create small efficiencies that add up to big savings over the course of a job by helping crews work quicker while preventing waste and rework.

One of the most versatile and cost-effective tools to keep on hand is one that’s easily overlooked: blue painter’s tape.

Clean removal is an essential in achieving clean, crisp lines and helping to avoid damaged surfaces that often result in costly rework.

Because of their wide range of use, blue painter’s tape and beige masking tape are two tools that should always be readily at hand in industrial environments with regular maintenance and repair needs.

Here are a few ways to make sure that your tape will last as long as possible before needing to be replaced.

Clean removal means two things — removing the tape without damage the surface and not leaving behind adhesive residue.

Learn what factors contribute to duct tape strength, from tensile performance to adhesive power, and discover how choosing the right heavy-duty tape can improve durability, holding power and jobsite reliability.

Discover how painter’s tape can help create cleaner drilling projects by reducing surface damage, capturing dust and improving hole placement accuracy on painted walls, tile, glass and other finished surfaces.
