"masking tape"의 정의 및 의미

What is "masking tape"?

Masking tape is a type of adhesive tape used to cover areas that should not be painted or exposed to certain materials. It is typically made from paper and coated with a mild adhesive, allowing it to stick securely but be removed easily without leaving residue. Masking tape is often used in painting projects to create clean, straight lines or protect surfaces such as trim, windows, or floors from paint splatters. It is also used for light-duty tasks like bundling items or labeling. Masking tape is available in various widths and strengths for different applications.
