    Use this universally-know industrial masking tape for consistently sharp paint lines, even where surface temperatures can reach up to 250°F/121°C for as long as 30 minutes. It features a solvent-free adhesive and high-strength crepe paper backing for excellent conformability and bleed-through resistance to most industrial paint systems. This tape is excellent for masking around corners and contours.
