Overview

This heavy-duty masking tape is intended for protecting polished firearm surfaces during abrasive blasting work.

The high-density PVC construction and extra-sticky adhesive are described as staying in place under blast pressures up to 100 psi and with media as coarse as 60 mesh sand. It also cuts and trims cleanly with a sharp knife blade, making it practical for careful shop use where precise coverage matters.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Designed for abrasive blasting and masking tasks, so it is not a general-purpose tape for everyday shop or field use.
  • The product is offered in fixed roll widths and lengths, which may be more material than needed for smaller jobs.
  • Its extra-sticky adhesive is intended to stay put under blast pressure, so removal may require more care than lighter masking tapes.
  • Performance details are tied to the stated blasting conditions and media size, so use outside those parameters may not be comparable.
