Holbein Soft Tape - 3/4" width

Finally, a tape that comes off watercolor paper without shredding the top layer. The semi-transparent quality means I can eyeball my placement precisely, and it's held through several washes without buckling.

Peeling this off my watercolor paper felt completely effortless, and the low-tac grip held the edges flat through a wet wash without any bleed. It's almost invisible once applied, which made judging my composition way easier. I'll be keeping a roll in my travel kit from now on.

I was skeptical a tape could be gentle enough for my watercolor paper, but this one peels off cleanly every time without shredding a single fiber. The low-tac hold is perfect for keeping edges crisp while I work, and the roll has lasted me through three full paintings so far.
