Clean Masking for RC Bodies

The Tamiya 53170 Glass Tape provides a 15x25mm option for modelers aiming for neat paint separations. Its glass-style strip is aimed at producing defined edges and tidy finishes on RC car shells and model panels.

Stick and Release Performance

This tape is made to adhere reliably during paint application while allowing a clean release afterwards, so it helps avoid leftover adhesive on smooth surfaces. It is a practical addition to any build bench.

Common Applications

It is particularly handy for masking polycarbonate bodies, helping to keep paint lines sharp and preventing bleed during multi-stage spraying. Use it for stripes, trim work and layered colour breaks.

Yes, the 15x25mm width is convenient for cutting down into thinner strips for fine trim or for covering narrow areas on a body shell.
When applied with a firm edge it helps reduce paint seepage and maintain crisp lines, especially on flat or gently curved panels.
Peel back slowly at a low angle once the paint is touch dry to minimize lift and leave a clean edge.
Store the roll flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve adhesion and prevent curling.
