Masking material

[Divman]

OK if this has been covered then I'm sorry

After I got caught out with the paint bleeding into my masks, i wondered ..just what is best to use?

I thot the material the window masks were made of, if i cud buy that on plain sheets... anybody know where this can be bought?

I'm in the UK, but i'll buy it from anywhere really :)

Thx in advance.

3M painting mask is supposed to be quite good, quite a few people use it.

If you find anywhere to get 3M stuff in the UK, please post back here.

The tape that you want is Blue, it should be called something like "Painters Tape" or something like that.

There is also a green painters tape by 3M/Scotch that works just as well as the blue...

Your LHS should be able to get it.
If you need bigger, let me know, I get it in 15" x 150' roll.

What kind of size is that? A4?

[Tres]

yes, that should be A4 or 8.5"x11"

I'll buy 2 sheets just to be sure i get all my masks, this will leave some margin for error too.

Thanks for the link Tres, nice one!
