3M General Purpose Masking Tape is designed for protecting surfaces during painting and decorating. The 48mm width provides a broader masking area than narrower tapes, making it useful around skirting boards, window frames, architraves and fittings. The 50m roll is suitable for general decorating and preparation work where temporary masking is required. Before use, test the tape on a small, inconspicuous area, particularly on painted or delicate surfaces. Follow the manufacturer's guidance for application and removal.
