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" throu 18" x 18ft and 6" through 36" x 750ft. Masking paper can withstand bake cycles up to 225&degF for 30 minutes. Helps protect against dust contamination from its own paper fibers. Provides excellent conformabilty and holds up well under wet sanding conditions.
