Scribing Tape

Characteristics of Scribing Tape

• Thickness: Scribing tape is typically thicker than regular masking tape, providing a raised edge for better tool guidance.
• Flexibility: It is flexible enough to adhere to curved surfaces and contours.
• Adhesiveness: Strong enough to stay in place during scribing but easy to remove without leaving residue or damaging the model's surface.

How to Use Scribing Tape

1. Plan the Line: Decide where the scribed line will go and measure the distance if needed.
2. Apply the Tape: Stick the scribing tape along the line where you want to create the panel or groove.
3. Scribe Along the Edge: Use a scribing tool to follow the edge of the tape, applying light pressure and making multiple passes to achieve the desired depth.
4. Remove the Tape: Carefully peel off the tape once the scribing is complete.

Advantages of Using Scribing Tape

• Ensures precision and uniformity.
• Reduces the risk of mistakes or uneven lines.
