Professional application advice

Apply to clean, dry and sound surfaces free from dust, grease and loose material. Press firmly along the edge to help prevent coating bleed.

For best results, remove masking carefully in accordance with the coating manufacturer's recommendations. When using silicone or acrylic render, avoid allowing the finished coating to harden over the tape edge.

Always test adhesion on delicate, freshly painted or unfamiliar surfaces before use. For rough brick, blockwork or heavily textured render, use a specialist rough-surface masking tape.
