4 Packs White Artist Tape for Watercolor Paper Drafting Art Low Tack Masking Tape Acid Free Painter Watercolor Tape for Painting Canvas Framing, 0.6inch Wide 660FT Long Total

After reaching the age of a million and one years, I finally discovered the cheap thrills of having a clean edge while using watercolors. It wows me every time I pull the tape off. This sticks well enough to do the job but also easily peels off. Nice paper works the best but if I was slightly careful, it would peel off from inexpensive watercolor sheets from Walmart. I was in need of a few cards I wanted to send in the mail, it was important enough to me to have them receive something real. I quickly bought the paper and ordered other supplies from Amazon. So much fun! Now I can't stop, somebody help me! 😘

This tape is exactly what I was hoping it would be. Comes up easily on all the watercolor paper I use, even if it is down for a few days, but just enough tack to hold. It's also inexpensive compared to alternatives. As some commentators have pointed out, this tape is thin compared to a lot of other masking tape, but it has no effect on doing the job that I can tell after using it on a few pieces. The downside to the low tack is you have to be extra careful to not get some underflow if you are doing a completely soaked wash. Almost all tapes have this problem and the couple I have used that don't have way too much tack and tear paper frequently coming up. I got the half inch for partitioning full sheets into smaller sections for doing daily watercolor thumbnails, but am ordering a larger size right away for tacking down pages to working surfaces now that I have seen how well it works. Not doubting that others have had the unfortunate experiences they relate in some of these bad reviews. Cheap products often have some variability and tape is particularly prone to reacting to high heat or humidity in shipping. But when it is on this tape is great and I won't hesitate to keep buying it and just use Amazon's return policy if I should hit a bad batch.

Excellent for holding down watercolor paper onto a surface. It doesn't damage the WC paper when removed like typically masking tape will. However, note that this is not masking tape (sometimes called Painters Tape) so for other tasks it does not have enough holding power. It appears to be waterproof and did a good job for me with 140 pound paper.

While the quality seems good and it's easy to use, this watercolor tape has torn my paper on more than one occasion, so I would not consider it easy to remove. The seller reached out to me to provide a refund, has been very communicative and is committed to making a better product.

I use it for watercolor paper, to tape it to a hard surface. Works as intended.

Low tack! That is an understatment. I tried to use this on watercolor paper. I needed low tack but this tape didnt hold up at all. I was using this tape to hold my watercolor paintings to the mats when I was selling them without a frame. The tape pulled way from the mat and it was terrible. Made my presentation of my artwork at shows look cheap and sloppy. Dont waste your money.

Accurate description, shipped promptly and reasonably priced.

Truly crappy art tape! This tape somehow manages to do what seems almost impossible: It both does not stick well enough to hold the paper onto a board, AND yet somehow sticks too much to the paper so that it rips the surface on removal. That's quite an achievement! When I first applied it, after only a few minutes it started to peel off the wooden board by itself. Literally about 5 inches or so separated (half the length of the paper). I rubbed it down several times, thinking that it would stick eventually. But it continued to separate again after a few minutes. Finally I taped down the tape with some stronger non art tape. I was going to return it, but then thought, well, with this weak adhesion, at least it won't damage the paper. Wrong! After finishing the piece some weeks later, on removal, it took chunks off the surface of the paper. Subsequent uses have pretty much repeated these same results. There have also been times when it left a sticky residue on the paper and the board. So it would seem that the adhesive is very very inconsistent throughout the length of the roll. So ... if it doesn't stick to the board, AND it still rips your paper ... well .... WHAT THE HECK IS THIS GOOD FOR???!!! This tape somehow manages to do all the exact worst things possible for art tape!

it’s great for framing artwork. It’s great for using on your pieces when using watercolor, coloured pencil, pastels. I like the way that it’s not as sticky as painters tape. If you do find it, it’s too grippy then take a piece, stick it on your your jeans and then lift it off. It will be less sticky.

Se despega del papel muy fácilmente y se enrolla sobre si mismo. No cumple la función de fijar firmemente

Great product. I use a lot of artist tape for watercolour. This product is as good as any I've purchased and a good price

Wasn’t expecting much but this tape has been amazing. Use it to block watercolour paper and it holds well but comes off easily, not damaging the the the paper or the painting.

Doesn't tear away my paper after watercolor!
