Problems solved by technology

Additionally, the masking operation can be quite extensive, costly, and time consuming.
Further, the masking operation must be done by a relatively skilled worker, as if it is improperly done, costly and time consuming mistakes may occur.
As such, one of the most time consuming steps in automotive refinishing is in the preparation that takes place before the actual finishes are applied.
Because the front door edge moves in relation to the fender when the door is opened, it is extremely difficult to tape this gap from the inside.
However, this procedure is difficult and time consuming, and therefore costly.
In addition to being time consuming, this procedure is generally unsatisfactory due to the hinge area not being properly prepared (clean or prepared for painting).
Thus, the paint tends to flake or peel over time.
This “do nothing” procedure is certainly the most time efficient procedure, however, it is generally not considered a proper repair.
However, both of these approaches require an investment of a significant amount of time and effort.

Abstract

An adhesive tape comprises a tape portion including a first side and a second side, wherein the first side includes an adhesive layer disposed thereon. The adhesive tape further includes a handle portion comprising a first edge, wherein the first edge of the handle portion is longitudinally disposed adjacent the first side of the tape portion.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to adhesive tape, and more specifically to an improved adhesive tape system and method of application thereof.[0002]Adhesive tape, and more particularly masking tape, is used for numerous and varied purposes, as well as in numerous applications. One such purpose is to demarcate a surface into a zone which requires painting, from another zone that does not. In this application, typically, a removable masking tape is used to demarcate these zones such that after the painting process is complete, the masking tape is removed, and the painting process is thereby confined to the desired area.[0003]For example, in the field of automotive refinishing, the masking operation is critical to protect the areas of the vehicle that are not to be painted, from those that are to be. Additionally, the masking operation can be quite extensive, costly, and time consuming. Further, the masking operation must be done by a relatively skilled w...
