Pepe 1 Posted August 29, 2008 Hi all, I'm having trouble with avery paint mask and rtype conform clear transfer tape. The transfer tape is too strong and rips the paintmask off. I use it for airbrushing logos and art on cars and other stuff. Does anyone have a good kown combination recommendation of paintmask and tape that is easily to remove? Possibly close to TN Thanks.

Mr Peabody 0 Posted August 31, 2008 Pepe - I was wondering the same thing. I wanted to do some experiments with paint mask myself. I know Avery sells some paint mask, you might want to give them a call or check out their website if you can't get an answer here. If I get a chance I'll look around and see what they recommend. If you find the answer I'd like to know. Peabody Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
venice_d 0 Posted August 31, 2008 I use the avery paint mask for painted auto graphics with no problems, sometimes the white, sometimes the yellow, both have worked well for me. I usually use a paper transfer tape though instead of the clear rtype. Are you using a precleaner or wax & grease remover before applying the mask? Some of those can leave a residue behind that makes it hard for the mask to stick, so it could be that you're not getting a good bond between the mask and the surface more so than the trans tape being too strong. You could also try flashing the trans tape on a piece of cloth before applying it to the mask to pick up a little lint and reduce the tack a bit... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pepe 1 Posted September 1, 2008 Thanks Venice, I wasn't using any degreaser, just the dry basecoat (waterbased createx). Is the paper Rtape not as sticky as the clear? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RegisG 0 Posted September 1, 2008 Oracal 810 will conform to some curves (811 for flat). I use R-Tape conform (paper). I don't have lot of experience but, these do work well together. Regis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
