Hey pal,

Your question reminded me of a hilarious story. When I was fourteen, I would make paintings all the time. To make sure, I had an equal border on all sides of the chart. I would use masking time. Once, I used regular time by mistake and ruined my work. I will share with you masking tape meaning, it will help you not make the same mistake as me. lol.

What is masking tape?

It is a type of paper tape that is designed specifically to be used by artists. It has low tack in comparison to standard tape. This means when you stick it, it will not be as sticky and will come off easily. It won't leave a mark behind. This pressure-sensitive tape was invented by an employee of 3M called Richard Drew. 

Features :

Despite the low tack, the tape will create a seal against paint, marks, dust, and debris. 

  • It is also known as painter's tape. 

  • For the most part, it's water-resistant. 

  • It isn't waterproof by any means 

  • It is not porous. 

For the most part, a masking tape is an expensive option. It can be found easily in art stores, stationery shops, and online e-commerce shops.
