6515
***Discontinued*** Masking Paper
Discontinued 6515 is a 2.6mil, steel gray masking paper, primailry used in conjunction with pressure sensitive tapes for painting operations. It is ideal for protection against bleeding of paint solvents and offers greater protection than many other types of gross masking mediums. It is offered in a variety of standard sizes 6" through 36" x 1000ft (304m). It should not be pulled "taut" over surfaces to be masked. Apply paper with sufficient slack to reduce chance of contact with paper to the substrate. Steel gray can withstand bake cycles up to 400°F for one hour.
