Best masking tape for use when hand finishing mouldingd & Frames

Post by Not your average framer »

I don't usually use masking tape to mask off areas on mouldings, when hand finishing because I don't usually need to, but I will be needing to do some masking for a few things and wondered if they are any preferred masking tape suggestions.

Thanks in anticipation,
Mark.

Yup, frog tape green here, but apparently Kleen Edge tape from Toolstation is very good too.

Thanks very much.
