3M Company 3260-A Heavy Duty Poly Stucco Masking Tape

Product Description

The 3M COMPANY 3260-A is a heavy duty poly stucco masking tape designed for exterior stucco and EIFS applications. It features a conformable, waterproof poly backing that tears easily by hand and applies smoothly to flat and curved surfaces. The tape holds firmly during the stucco process and is rated for clean removal within 30 days of application. Maximum application temperature is 173 degrees F. The UV-resistant construction keeps the tape intact during extended outdoor exposure, making it a reliable choice for contractors working on multi-day stucco jobs.

This tape is used in traditional 3-coat stucco, hard coat stucco, one-coat stucco, and EIFS installations. It is suited for masking surfaces, hanging poly sheeting, and protecting finished areas during the stucco application process. Licensed stucco contractors and general contractors working on residential and commercial exterior cladding projects are the primary installers. The 2-inch width is well matched for trim masking and poly sheeting attachment tasks common on stucco job sites.
