Nichiban #252A is an advanced masking tape, introduced just this year by the leading tape manufacturer in Japan. It's made with washi paper and low-tack acrylic adhesive, using a similar formula to our best-selling Nichiban #210 tape. We really like the pale blue color for visibility on the page, an advantage of this tape over classic #210. Nichiban #252A is designed for masking delicate surfaces for painting, so it's a great tool for artists who work on paper or canvas. You can remove it cleanly from almost any surface; just peel it off slowly to reveal a super-sharp painted line. Measures 18 mm (0.7 in.) wide by 18 m (59 ft.) long. Made in Japan.
