Scotch Delicate Surface Painter's Tape 2080 is engineered for surfaces that require extra care: freshly painted walls (minimum 24 hours old), wood floors, wallpaper, cabinets, and veneers. Its gentle adhesive and Edge-Lock Technology deliver sharp paint lines and clean removal for up to 60 days without residue or surface damage. The solvent-free adhesive on crepe paper backing is UV- and sunlight-resistant. Made from 50% renewable resources. Available in 0.70, 0.94, 1.41, and 1.88 in widths. Purple color for easy identification.
Can 2080 go on freshly painted walls?
Yes, but wait at least 24 hours after painting before applying 2080. Its gentle adhesive is specifically designed for recently painted surfaces, reducing the risk of pulling up the new paint.
What is the maximum clean removal time for 2080?
2080 removes cleanly for up to 60 days, four times longer than the Standard 2090. This extended window is helpful for projects that unfold over several weeks.
Why is 2080 purple instead of blue?
The purple color distinguishes 2080 from the blue 2090 and 2093 tapes on the job site, making it easy to identify which tape is applied to delicate surfaces.
Can 2080 be used outdoors?
2080 is designed for indoor use only. Its gentle adhesive is optimized for delicate interior surfaces and is not formulated for exterior UV exposure or weather.
Will 2080 prevent paint bleed on delicate surfaces?
Yes. 2080 includes Edge-Lock Technology to help seal the tape edge against paint bleed, helping produce sharp paint lines even on more porous surfaces like wallpaper and wood.
Does 2080 work on hardwood floors?
Yes. 2080 is rated for finished or engineered hardwood floors, making it suitable for masking baseboards during floor refinishing or accent wall projects.
