Stronger and slightly stickier than washi tape, but much more gentle and removable than cheap masking tape, Nichiban #241 Masking Tape has a huge number of uses in the studio or office. Designed for masking sensitive areas during the industrial painting process, Nichiban #241 holds strong and resists water. Thanks to Nichiban's extremely detailed product information, we can tell you that Nichiban #241 is 8.3% stickier than the ultra-gentle Nichiban #210 artist tape. That means it can cause damage to the most delicate surfaces, especially if it is left on for a long time. But it also gives the #241 tape broader general utility. For example, you can't wrap a gift with Nichiban artist tape, because it will eventually come unstuck in that kind of application.
