It’s a circular foam strip that can be easily inserted into door gaps, hood seams, trunk openings, and other crevices on the vehicle body. It seals openings to prevent any paint from reaching areas that should not be painted. Thanks to its many advantages, foam masking tape has become a popular choice among automotive refinishing professionals seeking quality, time savings, and a flawless finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposition of Foam Masking Tape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFoam masking tape is made of polyurethane foam, rolled and cut into circular strips.
