The actual temperature and time performance may be higher or lower for a given application. Clean removal can vary dependent on surface type, processing conditions such as multiple bakes, type of paint involved as well as the temperature of the surface at removal. We recommend testing the product under your conditions to determine your performance limits. Features * Ideal for many complex shapes and irregular surfaces where paper masking tapes or other plastic tapes do not offer sufficient conformability. * Resists lifting around corners or in depressed areas. * Smooth backing for good coverage of the work surface. * Excellent color line separation. * Should not be subjected to outdoor applications or prolonged periods of sunlight as tape may become difficult to remove.
