1/4″ x 60 yd. x 5.9 mil Tan Scotch General Purpose Masking Tape

3M 234 Masking Tape is a Scotch® General Purpose Masking Tape features a strong backing and has a less aggressive adhesive. It is one of 3M’s most popular general purpose crepe backed masking tapes and performs exceptionally well in most indoor applications. It also features enough tensile strength to be of use in many holding, protecting and bundling applications. A controlled unwind ensures the tape dispenses evenly from the roll, making it less like to tear prematurely. The 3M 234 has proven itself in window and door manufacturing. 3M 234 General Purpose Masking Tape features one piece removal and is sliver resistant.

3M 234 Features Include:

  • Strong backing
  • Easy to tear

  • One piece removal
  • Rubber adhesive provides instant adhesion
  • Resists lifting or curling
