3M AUTOMOTIVE REFINISHING MASKING TAPE - Tape is designed for indoor use - exposure to sun and heat may cause tape to become more difficult to remove. For easier application and removal, apply long continuous strips of tape rather than multiple short pieces. Press the entire width of tape down firmly to avoid paint from seeping under the tape edges.

Make sure surfaces are thoroughly clean and dry before applying masking tapes. Some surfaces, such as rubber gaskets and moldings, should be cleaned with solvent before applying tape. For best adhesion results, surface temperatures should range from 60°F to 90°F when tape is applied. For clean removal, tapes should be removed at a 90° angle using a moderate speed, and surface temperature should range from 60°F to 90°F when tape is removed.
