This tape is used by professional teak installers as a bond break liner underneath teak deck caulking with polysulfide caulk beads. Using a bond breaker compensates for expansion and contraction between wood and caulk.

Questions & Answers about 3M 218 Fine Line Masking Tape:
2012-08-21WALT WYATT asked: I am a vollenteer air brushing model street cars for a display at the Cincinnati Museum Center. I am using Model Flex paint by Badger. They recommend 3M fine line tape but do not list which one. I need a clean line and a tack that will not pull off the paint. The car car bodies are a resin casting. What do you recommend?

I have used the 3M Fine Line Masking tape for a long time and am very pleased with it's performance. If the paint on the body is cured and applied properly it will not pull it off. However, if the paint has not cured or was not applied properly it may remove some of the paint but it is usually not severe. It does produce a vey fine line and is flexable enough to make moderate curves.

2012-09-14PATRICK GALLARDO: it has been a while since I used this tape but I don't remember any problems. tape went on easy and left a nice clean line when peeled off.
2012-07-20A shopper asked: what if the tape is wider than the seam? Not in all cases but some. Does it need to be trimmed or just pushed down?
Used the tape to do boot stripe lines. Went on well. I really liked the slight stretch I could get. That really helped keep the tape going on slightly curved surface. No need to break tape and restart in order to keep with desired line.
But I am extremely unhappy with this tape. It left residue on areas where it had had some sunlight. Now I have to figure out how to remove residue without damaging the stripes I worked so hard for.
This means A LOT more work for me.

Comments about 3M 218 Fine Line Masking Tape:
Used this to tape off the trim on a wooden sailboat. It performed as well or better than advertised. Clean, sharp lines when removed after both primer and enamel had been applied. Only one area where a little superficial wood pulled up. Just flexible enough for the gentle curves needed.
