Tamiya Masking Tape - 3mm

The primary advantage is its narrow 3mm width, which allows for extremely precise masking of fine lines and intricate details on models.

While primarily designed for plastic and R/C models, it can likely be used on other surfaces if properly prepared, but its best performance is on plastic.

Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The PET plastic covers help protect it from dust and prevent distortion.

No, masking tape is typically a one-time use product. It is designed to be applied, hold paint, and then removed.

It means the paper edges of the tape can absorb a small amount of moisture from the air or surface, which can help it conform better to irregular shapes.

Yes, it is suitable for use with airbrush paints, provided the paint is applied in light, controlled coats to avoid overspray pooling.

The roll contains 18 meters of masking tape.

Ensure the tape is pressed down firmly along all edges. For extra security on intricate jobs, consider applying a very thin, light mist coat of your base color over the tape edge before applying the main color. Allow this mist coat to dry fully before proceeding.

Make sure the model surface is clean, dry, and free of any dust, oils, or release agents. If the surface is very smooth, a light sanding may improve adhesion. Reapply with firm pressure.

Use a sharp cutting tool (scissors or hobby knife) to cut the tape cleanly. When removing, peel it back slowly and at a low angle, preferably while the paint is still slightly tacky (check paint manufacturer's guidelines) or fully cured to avoid damaging the paint finish.
