It’s no secret that boats require proper care and attention from start to finish – and that includes when in use and storage. But it isn’t as widely acknowledged that tape plays a major factor in rework reduction and finish protection.
Choosing a tape that performs well with low surface energy (LSE) materials can make or break your boat-building process right from the start.
Choosing quality masking and painter's tape is critical, as the durability of these products can create small efficiencies that add up to big savings over the course of a job by helping crews work quicker while preventing waste and rework.
One of the most versatile and cost-effective tools to keep on hand is one that’s easily overlooked: blue painter’s tape.
Clean removal is an essential in achieving clean, crisp lines and helping to avoid damaged surfaces that often result in costly rework.
Because of their wide range of use, blue painter’s tape and beige masking tape are two tools that should always be readily at hand in industrial environments with regular maintenance and repair needs.
The building envelope and all its components play a critical role in protecting a structure, optimizing energy efficiency, and ensuring occupant comfort in interior spaces.
Here are a few ways to make sure that your tape will last as long as possible before needing to be replaced.
Clean removal means two things — removing the tape without damage the surface and not leaving behind adhesive residue.
Duct tape is a versatile tool, but not all types are made alike.
Painter’s tape can be useful for a variety of drilling projects.
When installing building envelope products, adhesive choice is a critical decision that can extend the length of the construction season for contractors and builders, especially in extreme climates.
Duct tape should never be used as a replacement for painter’s tape.
The demand for more sustainable building envelope products has pushed UV-cured acrylic adhesives to the forefront of adhesive technology over other adhesives designed for building envelope applications.
When you’re working on an outdoor project, paint can often play a crucial role — and nothing helps ensure smooth, clean lines like painter’s tape.
