3M 3/4″ Scotch 233+ Premium Automotive Masking Tape (26334CS)

The 3M 3/4″ Scotch 233+ Premium Automotive Masking Tape (26334CS) is designed for professional use in collision repair, marine painting, and other automotive applications. This 3/4-inch (18 mm) green crepe paper tape offers exceptional performance, versatility, and reliability. Its high-quality rubber adhesive provides excellent adhesion to various surfaces, including metal, plastic, glass, and rubber, while resisting adhesive transfer for clean removal. The 233+ tape is highly conformable, allowing it to easily mold around curves and contours, ensuring sharp paint lines and preventing paint bleed. It is also resistant to UV, temperature fluctuations, moisture, chemicals, and both waterborne and solvent-based paints, making it suitable for a wide range of environments.
