A:  Yes, the tape will adhere, but not nearly as successfully as on a smooth surface. For instance, when stucco repair is made on a building the windows are protected with plastic and the tape holding the plastic sheeting is attached to the window frames and not to the stucco.

A:  I have not used it on rough stucco exterior surfaces. but it did work well on drywall and contractor bags.

A:  Not the strongest adhesion when it comes to wood, better on plastic and metal and not so bad on wood.

A:  Yes. If you are masking don't leave it on to long as adhesive will transfer to surface.

A:  Yes, works on wood, but Ned’s to be clean of dust and pressure with a rag to good adherence

A:  Yes, this painting production masking tape is for use on non-damageable surfaces, including wood.

A:  Yes. This masking tape works fine on wood. Make sure you pull the tape off as soon as possible. If you leave it on in the sunlight or leave it on for days, it will be a bear to remove.

A:  This is the typical answer of it depends. This tape has a strong adhesive that can pull loose a thin veneer from laminate wood. It can also cause some lifting of grain depending on wood type and how much pressure is used when applying tape. The biggest issue would be the length of time the tape is left on and the temperature. If tape is left in direct sunlight for more than a couple of hours you are likely to get tape residue left on the wood. If tape is left more than a couple of days it can result in the adhesive staying on the wood and soaking into the grain.

A:  Yes

A:  I have used it many times on wood, stucco, concrete and bricks. As for wood, the same pre-conditions apply to all of the materials I've mentioned. They are: * The material must be clean * Free of dust * No debris or dirt

A:  You can, but it doesn't use the same adhesive as the tape designed for automotive. This is designed with a higher tack adhesive as houses are dirtier and have a more porous surface. It can work, but will generally leave adhesive behind or become loose when multiple wet coats of solvent based paint are applied. This can be an issue when you are doing a two stage paint job. Remember to remove the tape and paper after painting when the paint is tack free( dry to the touch but leaves an imprint if pressure is applied( always test on the tape/paper and not surface of vehicle)). Just like with house paint if autopaint is allowed to fully cure before removing tape it can lift the edges and cause jagged edges.

A:  Yes; to hold masking material

A:  This is not the type of tape to be used for that endeavor.

A:  Yes it can be use when painting your car, just pull it off slowly.

A:  This is not the type of tape you would use for that endeavor.

A:  Yes you can use this to mask a car.

A:  Yes. Remove it as soon as the paint/clear coat dries.

A:  Not if the edge is tight

A:  It has never done so in any of my projects.

A:  I have used this several times and never had a problem with bleed through. That said, if the surface is somewhat rough (like rough-sawn wood trim) I have noticed the paint will sometimes siphon under the tape if there are small gaps between the tape and the wood. I hope this helps & good luck!

A:  Thank you for asking! As long as the tape is applied properly to a smooth surface and the area is not overly flooded with paint, there should not be any bleed through. If you have any questions or concerns please contact us at 1-800-494-3552 M-F 8am-5pm CT.

A:  36 mm

A:  Thanks for asking for this tape it has a thickness of: 5.9 mils (0.15 mm).

A:  3M Scotch Painting Production Masking Tape will not peel paint that is already in place and dry.

A:  Yes.

A:  It may or may not depending on a variety of factors. Painter's tape costs more but has a less aggressive adhesive. In a pinch, you can rub it over your clothing and reduce the adhesive aggressiveness a bit but I would NOT recommend it for a large job especially since it would normally be on the walls/trim longer.

A:  If left on the existing paint for to too long of a period.

A:  Thank you for asking! We would expect the tape to remove cleanly from your painted surface if removed within 3 days after application and if the surface you apply it to has been painted over 30 days. Please know we offer a ScotchBlue Delicate Surface Painter's Tape that can be left on up to 60 days and can be used on paint that is 24 hours old or older. If you have additional questions please call our team at 1.800.537.9514 M-F 8am-5pm CT. Thanks again!

A:  NEVER!

A:  Thank you for asking. You can indeed use this tape to bundle wires together to keep them out of sight. This is not an electrical tape so the wires should be coated if this tape is used, not live. Thanks again!

A:  You can use this tape but it is highly recommended that you don't. There are plenty of options Home Depot offers in there cable and wire management department.

A:  No, it will do an OK job of holding the wires in place, but it was never intended to "conceal" anything. In fact it will look like speaker wires behind masking tape. I would not recommend it for this type of job.

A:  I wouldn't advise that, it will eventually come loose. The best way to conceal the wires neatly would be a type of wire mold, you can run that many different ways and it will look a lot better.
