Hard Adhesive Guide Tape for Model Scribing - Fluorescent PVC
- Description - High strength adhesive hard plastic tape originally made for label printers, repurposed as a guide tape for model scribing and panel lines. - Bright fluorescent color for excellent visibility during detailed work. - Made from thick, rigid PVC with strong tack adhesive, making it suitable as a scribing guideline tape for scale models.
- Usage Notes - Backing film may be difficult to remove because this is not the tape's original intended use. If removal is difficult, use fine pointed precision tweezers. - Designed for skilled hobbyists and modelers familiar with delicate handling. - Stronger adhesion than standard transparent guide tapes such as CGT-6MM. Ensure surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and degreased before application to achieve full adhesion. - Because of the high adhesive strength, removal after painting or priming may lift primer or paint. Leaving the tape in place for a long time can cause adhesive residue. Use this tape alongside standard guide tapes as appropriate.
- Recommended Tools - For best results pair with the separately sold Line Scriber tool, a scribing blade with moderate flexibility and smooth cutting action. - The Line Scriber is designed with matched shaft and blade for ease of use and is available in blade widths from 0.08 mm to 0.8 mm.

Strong Adhesive Hard Plastic Guide Tape for Scribing and Model Making
- Description: Plastic tape designed for label printers that can also be used as a guide tape for scribing. Manufactured in a bright fluorescent color for high visibility during model work. - Material: Thick, hard PVC with strong tack adhesive for secure placement on model surfaces. - Usage Notes: Because this tape is not used for its original label printer purpose, peeling off the backing film may take extra time. If the backing film does not come off easily, use a fine pointed precision tweezer. This product is best suited for users with good manual dexterity. - Surface Preparation: Adhesion is stronger than standard transparent guide tape such as CGT-6MM. Remove dust, sanding residue, and oils from the work surface by cleaning and degreasing before applying the tape to ensure proper adhesion. - Paint and Surface Caution: Due to the strong adhesive, removing the tape after use may lift primer or paint. Long term adhesion may also leave adhesive residue. Use this tape in combination with standard guide tape types depending on the surface and finish. - Recommended Tool: For scribing work, use the separately sold Line Scriber. This special shaped blade tool offers moderate flexibility and a smooth cutting action, improving control and results. - Line Scriber Blade Options: Tip blade widths available from 0.08 mm to 0.8 mm.
