Masking tape Tesa Maler Krepp 4348 25 mm x 50 m – painter's crepe tape, low-residue

Tesa Maler Krepp 4348 25 mm x 50 m is a painter's crepe masking tape designed to produce clean paint edges and provide temporary protection during indoor painting tasks. The tape combines a conformable crepe paper backing with an adhesive formulated for low-residue removal, allowing it to stick reliably to a variety of surfaces and peel off cleanly after use. Its 25 mm width and 50 m roll length make it suitable for detailed masking of trim, window frames, fixtures and other narrow areas where precise lines are required.

Advantages

The crepe backing conforms to irregular surfaces and corners, enabling accurate edge definition. Adhesive performance is balanced to ensure secure holding during painting while permitting removal without leaving significant residue or damaging underlying surfaces. The tape is easy to tear by hand for quick application and reduces the need for extensive cleanup by producing sharp paint boundaries.

Suitable for

• Masking trim, moldings and baseboards during indoor painting
• Protecting window frames, door hardware and fixtures
• Creating straight paint lines on walls and ceilings
• Temporary protection of surfaces during light maintenance work

Key specifications

• Width: 25 mm
• Length: 50 m
• Backing material: crepe paper (conformable)
• Adhesive type: low-residue adhesive formulated for indoor use
• Typical application: temporary masking for painting and light protection

How to use

Ensure the surface is clean, dry and free of dust or grease before applying the tape. Unroll the required length and press the tape firmly along the edge to be masked, smoothing out any air pockets or folds. For corners and irregular profiles, conform the crepe backing by stretching lightly along the surface to maintain contact. Apply paint as specified. Remove the tape after the paint has dried to the recommended tack-free or dry time; peel back slowly at a 45-degree angle to minimise the risk of lifting the fresh paint.

Recommendations

Use the tape primarily on indoor surfaces and test on a small, inconspicuous area if working with delicate finishes or newly painted substrates. Do not leave the tape in place for extended periods beyond the paint manufacturer’s recommended removal window to avoid potential adhesive transfer or surface damage.
