Neat masking for precise paint lines

The Tamiya 87035 18mm masking tape helps deliver tidy, well defined paint edges on RC models. It strikes a balance between grip and clean removal so you can lay down crisp graphics and panels.

Advantages for the scale modeller

This 18mm tape offers enough tack to hold on curved and flat surfaces without leaving glue behind, making it suitable for a wide range of RC finishing work and decal masking tasks.

How to use it for sharp results

Ensure the surface is dust free before applying. Smooth the tape firmly to seal edges, paint in light passes, then peel back slowly after the paint has set to reveal sharp lines.

Will the tape lift decals or existing paint?

If used on fully cured paint it should not lift decals or paint. When in doubt, test on a small area or a scrap panel first.

Can I cut this tape for fine detail work?

Yes, the 18mm width is easy to trim with a hobby knife or scissors to create narrower strips for detail masking.

Is it suitable for repeated paint sessions?

It is designed for single use per application to ensure best adhesion and clean removal. Replace tape between stages for consistent results.

Any tips for preventing paint seepage?

Press down the tape edge firmly and consider using a light mist coat first to seal the edge before full coats. This reduces the chance of seepage under the tape.

How should I store unused rolls?

Keep rolls in a cool, dry place away from direct light to preserve adhesion and prevent edge drying or dust contamination.
