Product Description

Despite what some authors have written online and in print, most blue painter's tapes are not inherently elastic. That's fine for pre-taping a veneer seam if the veneer edges lines up perfectly, but often there is an edge that needs a little extra "pull" to keep the seam tight.

I tried countless blue tapes from every manufacturer I could find to get a removable tape that had some elasticity, and eventually a box arrived from someone who followed through on a promise he had made to get me the perfect blue tape for veneering. This clean-release tape has the ideal amount of stretch and a strong memory so that it pulls back with enough force to keep unruly joints tight.

Apply this tape to the back side of the veneer joint. Then prepare the face side with regular brown kraft veneer tape. After the brown tape has set, remove the blue tape and press your panel without worry that the joint will separate.

Size: 11/16" x 180'

Always remove the blue tape by pulling it at a low angle from the veneer face
and at 45 degrees from the seam line as shown below.
