Expo Flexible Masking Tape 2mm x 18mm (twin pack)

The Expo Flexible Masking Tape 2mm × 18m (Twin Pack) is a precision flexible masking solution designed for scale modelling, hobby painting, and fine finishing work where tight curves and clean paint lines are required.

Supplied as a twin pack, the tape’s 2mm width makes it particularly useful for intricate masking jobs, while the flexible material allows it to conform to curved surfaces without lifting or wrinkling.

About the tape

Flexible masking tape is especially useful for modellers working on camouflage patterns, curved paint demarcation lines, wheel hubs, canopies, and custom paint schemes where standard masking tape may struggle to follow contours.

Its narrow width allows for excellent control and precision, particularly on aircraft, vehicles, and model railway subjects.
