General Purpose Masking Tape 203 has a rubber adhesive that provides excellent instant adhesion that sticks to a wide variety of surfaces, reducing both time and effort. The crepe paper backing is conformable to maintain integrity when formed around a corner and resists slivering, yet also exhibits easy hand tearability. The back size treatment provides easy, controlled unwind. General Purpose Masking Tape is ideal for projects that require good holding power to help resist lifting or curling, or good paint hold-out that resists bleed-through.
