Are you looking for the perfect kind of tape for your project?

With 32 different types of tape (and counting) that is no small task!

There are a lot of advantages to using tape for a variety of projects, the least of which is being able to remove it when you no longer need it.

But that doesn’t mean that all tapes are made equal, or that they are equal to every task.

Keep reading for a more in-depth look at three different types of tape you can use for projects and how they’re used.

1) Double-Sided Tape

While the name kind of gives it away, double-sided tape has adhesive on both sides.

This is why it is sometimes called mounting tape, because it allows one to stick two things together, or mount something to something else, without the tape being visible.

How to Use Double-Sided Tape

You can use double-sided tape for different installation projects in your home such as:

  • Mounting lightweight decor such as pictures or posters,
  • Securing layers of material together by overlapping the ends,
  • Installing insulation, or
  • Securing rugs to the floor.

Different projects will have different needs, so different types of double-sided tape come in different thicknesses, materials, and strengths. Be sure to choose the right one for your project.

2) Masking Tape

An all-purpose tape, masking tape has a pressure-sensitive adhesive that makes it easy to remove. This makes it preferred for projects where the tape will come off without leaving residue.

It is also designed to be easy to tear.

How To Use Masking Tape

One of the best know varieties of masking tape is painter’s tape. This allows you to tape around the edges of a room, window, or doorway to make straight lines while painting. For best results, wait to remove the tape until your paint dries.

You can also use masking tape to help with staging and temporarily placing things before you make a final decision on where to hang something.

3) Epoxy Tape

Tape for epoxy resin is heat resistant. It won’t melt or curl when working with hot materials like epoxy.

How To Use Epoxy Tape

Be purposeful when taping off an epoxy project. Use your epoxy resin tape to tape around the edges/sides where you expect the epoxy to drip. Use pressure all the way around the edge to make sure the tape has fully adhered.

You can use thicker resin tape and simply bend the bottom half out to catch the drips.

If you use a thinner tape, be sure to tape completely down the side of your project and overlap underneath at least an inch.

Try this epoxy tape for your next project!

Use The Right Types Of Tape For The Right Projects

With so many types of tape, you are sure to be able to find the right tape for your project! Keep in mind what you need the tape to do and do your research for your specialty projects to find the perfect tape!
