FAQ's

What is the difference between masking tape and duct tape?

Masking tape is for protecting and blocking off areas when painting and decorating, usually made of a thin and easy to tear the paper. The adhesive should be fairly easy to remove from most surfaces without leaving any damage or residue. The backing should also be thin and easily conform to uneven surfaces and shapes. Duct tape is for sealing air ducts and often coated with polyethene and is very strong, flexible and water resistant.
