'Bendy' masking tape

[Poignard]

I have a roll of masking tape that can be bent edgewise. It's a sort of crepe paper tape. Very useful when masking curved fittings. I need some more.

I bought it at B&Q a while ago but last time I enquired I was told they don't stock it. ("If it ain't out, we ain't got none").

Anyone know where I can buy another roll? Surrey/Hampshire/ South London preferably

I had some once. Not seen it in ages. I now use insulating tape for the bits that curve....

I know the stuff you mean, but can't think where to get it. Generally, unless you want a really tight curve, I find the green "Frog" tape, in its narrowest size, isn't too bad.

Seems a bit of a strange way to do it, much better to use the proper thin stuff.

Well bugger me. I've always theorised about bendy masking tape but I never knew it existed. I shall have to remember it for the next time i'm painting round corners.

3M Fine-Line is bendy being plastic.

You can get it in the paint repair area in Halfords. Bought some just recently for masking off around wheel arches on the campervan I'm painting.

Especially when you want a straight line

Indeed 3434 is the best stuff, but not terribly bendy. Depends on the radius.

I once bought a job-lot of 100 mini-rolls of this. Foolishly I sold them, as it is incredibly useful to hang on a finger. Not seen them since
