White Art Tape Medium Tack - Masking Artists Tape for Drafting Art Watercolor Painting Canvas Framing - Acid Free 1inch Wide 180FT Long

Good quality, use to secure watercolor paper to board and does not tear paper when pealed off, will continue to buy.

I use this tape to mark out the stitch count on a piece of needlepoint canvas. I chose it because it will leave no sticky residue after removal. The downside is that the adhesion is a little weak. that's good for paper, but not as good on a piece of canvas that will be handled regularly for many months. That being said, i don't know of a better product for this purpose and I'll gladly continue using this.

I bought this for stretching/taping down watercolor paper, and sub-dividing a page into grids for painting. It worked well, is easy to use. My only complaint is that occasionally it does pull the paper up when I remove the tape. I have learned to take the tape piece and stick it to my shirt, then pull off a few times before putting on the paper. This adds a tiny layer of lint and makes the tape less sticky, so that it doesn’t pull off any paper when removing.

This is the best tape I have ever used for my artwork. I bought the medium tack and it is perfect for watercolor. No leaking onto the taped off areas. It is slightly transparent so I can easily see the paper edge when applying allowing for even margins. It is a dream to peel off the paper. You don't have to worry about tearing the paper. Much better than the green or blue painters tape or brown masking tape.

good value

If you’re a watercolor artist, this is a great option for lining your paper borders. I usually have no leaks on the paper and never have any problems lifting it off the paper when I’m done. I use Arches 100% cold press paper - the best quality.

I bought this tape to make down the edges of my art projects because I ran out of Holbein soft tape and this seemed to get ok reviews on Amazon. It's absolutely terrible though. I've tried it on different papers and using different methods for removal but the end result it is the same. It sticks so much to that there's no way I find to remove it without absolutely destroying the edges of my artwork. It completely rips up the paper and leaves the art looking terrible. It might be ok if you want to mount something as it's sticky enough, but I would not recommend it for masking. I would recommend the Holbein soft tape. It is amazing! It makes a great deal and always comes off perfectly. I ended up finding some on Blick's site and stockpiling it so I never have to resort to using tape like this again. Do not recommend. Would give this tape negative stars if that were possible.

Highly recommend

Good dimension, easy stick, gives clean paint edges, but lifted watercolour paper upon removal. Suggest removing some glue by sticking to clean fabric before using - a step I was looking to eliminate.

This stuff is beyond awful. I have no idea how it's obtained the good reviews it has. "No residue" is a straight up lie. This tapes one claim to fame is that its all residue... all of it. It ruins all paper types. I could see some possibility of using it for stretching paper with the explicit understanding that you'll be cutting off the tape parts after... that would be the single and only option. Forget clean edges... its not leaving your art without a fight and even if you can coax it off without ripping it to shreds... its gonna leave crap ALL over your paper. I feel like the remainder of this tape i have left might have some possibilities in a revenge plot against my enemies... ill have to give it some thought. I can guarantee it'll be the star.

Used to tape edges of watercolour to art board. Left it on for 24 hrs to let my art dry. Ripped the paper up upon removal. Tried twice with another paper. (Winsor Newton) same fault. Previously used cheap masking tape which never ripped the paper or bled water through. Back to the good old cheap stuff that works.
