Model Masking Tape Refill

This is by far the best tape to almost guarantee there will be no paint overlap on what your protecting. It flexes a little, far better than any other tape I can think of but best of all is it great at protecting the piece you are protecting. Plus the price here is by far the cheapest my local hobby store charges $4 for it.

Tamioya tape is great. Low tack. Won't peel off paint below as long as you let the undercoat dry, and paint won't bleed under the tape as long as you spray light coats and as long as you make sure it is making contact. Not so great for curves, though, but there is other tape intended for that.

Absolutely the best available for such a cheap price. I have no need for the dispenser, so I just get the refills. The factory edge on this tape is very straight and it goes down well without cutting a new edge. Sometimes I'll get paint peel if I don't weaken the adhesive before applying to an uncoated surface, but that's easily remedied by sticking and unsticking the tape to a clean piece of work surface a few times first.
