3M™ Soft Edge Foam Masking Tape protects door jambs, hoods or any area of a vehicle that needs to be sealed while being painted. The foam tape provides a soft edge to prevent hard paint lines. The polyurethane foam structure tape is completely flexible so that it conforms to unique contours and is easily workable. This tape is available in multiple sizes to meet specific needs.

3M™ Soft Edge Foam Tape eliminates rework due to unwanted overspray and hard paint lines. Ordinary flat masking tape can leave hard paint lines when used inside jambs, or must be rolled in order to create a soft edge

Softens Paint Lines
3M™ Soft Edge Foam Tape eliminates rework due to unwanted overspray and hard paint lines. Ordinary flat masking tape can leave hard paint lines when used inside jambs, or must be rolled in order to create a soft edge. Because of its unique three-dimensional construction, 3M™ Soft Edge Foam Masking Tape produces a virtually undetectable edge faster than traditional jamb masking techniques. It seals door jambs and other openings to protect them from paint overspray. In addition, dust and other contaminants are contained, preventing them from ruining your paint job. The tape can also be left in place during paint finishing to help reduce compound and polish sling from entering jamb areas.
