Abstract:

A masking tape, tape roll and method of masking for surface treatment, such as painting, along a curved juncture includes a flat adhesive strip with opposed curved edges running along an entire length of the strip. The flat strip is wound about a central axis in a helically wound tape roll with the strip adhesive surface being disposed substantially perpendicular to the central axis. A curved length of tape, and circular pieces of tape are readily separable from the roll by pulling a desired curved length of the tape away from the roll substantially parallel to the central axis and then separating the tape segment from the roll.
