Blending Tapes

No Edge Blending Tape is a unique solution allowing users to seamlessly blend new paintwork into old. JTAPE’s blending masking tapes are typically foam-based or paper crepe-based and have a rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive.

This type of tape is ideal for body In particular, blending tape can help you to repair a small part of the car, otherwise known as spot or smart repairs. This saves money on materials, as well as time.

Start by peeling the film from the adhesive and begin applying your blending tape to the surface you want to blend on. For example, when applying the tape on a car panel, you start at one edge and begin using pressure on the adhesive as you go. Blending tape is typically the last to be applied, down a straight or curved swage line. This is what will create a seamless blend on your paint job.

If possible, it’s best to remove the blending tape when the clear coat is still wet. This can be done by simply pulling from one end of the tape and carefully removing it at an angle. Using this method should leave you with no adhesive residue on the surface underneath.

Our blending tapes can be used on a wide variety of materials and surfaces. However, this tape is mainly suited for use on all car body materials.

Blending tape can be heat resistant up to 160C/320F, making it perfect for use with low to high-bake ovens and infra-red drying systems.
