Patent attributes
A masking tape assembly has first and second tapes with sticky front faces secured, back-to-back, in overlying relation by a folded hinging tape adhered between them adjacent the first edges so that first edges of the tapes and the fold are aligned. A protective tape covers the adhesive on the second tape. The assembly is mounted on one of two portions of a surface to be painted with the first edges aligned on the border between the portions, paint is applied to the other portion extending also over the aligned first edges; the protective tape removed and the second tape pivoted into adhesion with the other portion. The first masking tape and hinging tape are removed exposing the one portion and paint applied to the one portion to extend over the edge of the second tape, then removed so that the painted portions meet in a clean border.
