This tape stays put, removes with no residue, and does not leak through even with heavy coats of paint. For masking glass canopies, I lay the tape down and cut the edges with a xacto knife. Because this is a paper tape, there are some fibers left over on the edges, but it doesn't affect the end result. This tape lasted me through more than six models, and the 6mm width was just right for every one of them. Also, try not to touch the sticky side with your hands before using it (obvious, I know)-- it really affects how well the tape will stick.

This tape is excellent for masking. If you burnish the edge down and are careful there is no paint bleed under. I use this for my fine masking, then use a wider tape over part of it to cover more of the area I don't want painted. I have not had a problem with this tape pulling the undercoat paint off of the model, as long as I let is dry.

I've been using the tape on my current project and it works so much better than the generic stuff I bought at the local hardware store. Paint lines are razor sharp.
