The Rodo Low Tack Masking Tape is a professional-grade masking solution specifically designed for delicate surfaces where standard masking tapes may cause lifting, tearing, or surface damage. Measuring 2 inches (50mm) wide and supplied in a 50-metre roll, this tape offers excellent coverage and control for precision painting and finishing tasks.

Formulated with low tack adhesion, this tape leaves minimal surface residue, making it ideal for applications on freshly painted walls, wallpaper, decorative finishes, and other sensitive surfaces. It’s particularly suited for duo-toning, stencil work, or when sharp paint lines are required without the risk of damaging the substrate.

For best results, the tape should be applied to clean, dry surfaces and removed before the finish has fully dried, preferably within 3 hours of application, to minimise the risk of adhesion marks or surface disruption.
