Bryan C 14 Report post Posted April 25, 2008 Anyone know where to purchase 72" pretaped plastic sheeting? The only stuff I can find is the 24" or 36" high, made by 3M. Beginning to wonder if they make pretaped sheeting this large - for covering the siding when staining decks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 MMI Enterprises 289 Report post Posted April 25, 2008 Haven't seen...sorry. If I ever found myself needing to tape such size I would use my packing tape gun. But since I don't I just end up using staplegun and plastic tarp. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Beth n Rod 1,279 Report post Posted April 25, 2008 Our Sherwin Williams dealer carries the 'Easy Mask' version in either 4' or 8' lengths, both are 100' roles. Check with them and they could order if it is not currently in stock. Rod!~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 jnoden 15 Report post Posted April 28, 2008 Does that pre tape plastic have tape on the top and botton? We had tried taping plastic to viyl siding in the past and if it was even just breazy it would come off the siding. It was a real pita. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We had tried taping plastic to viyl siding in the past and if it was even just breazy it would come off the siding. It was a real pita. We used the stuff that Rod recommended yesterday - it is awesome. Comes pretaped at the top only. We started with taping it up top, then stuck additional tape on the vinyl at the bottom, tucked the sheeting into that. Nice static cling against the house which eliminates it blowing around. They carry it at SW - about $17 a roll (8' X 75'). I tried it and then had them order me some additional rolls... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 RMedbery 26 Report post Posted April 28, 2008 As a hood cleaner heres a trick. Wet down the siding, when the plastic touches it it will stick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Beth n Rod 1,279 Report post Posted April 28, 2008 Your welcome. imagine that...we can learn somethin new everyday here..thanx RodSherwin-Williams SherLink ps- Hey Rod... it says "Maintains strength when wet." , it last through stripping and rinsedown? Don't know, never tried it during the initial wash/strip process. Only use it as a protectant during sealant application. Rod!~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You may be able to get a better price break by buying it by the case (10/cs) and I usually order 2-3 cs at a time. My last purchase cost me $10.73@ and it was on sale!

0 Greg R 82 Report post Posted May 2, 2008 Practice masking and it doesn't take long to run tape and mask. 5 minutes and I can usually have the back masked. I run a continuous 2" strip along the base of the house while rolling back the top edge. Then using painters plastic (400' rolls - 9' high) you stick the leading edge. When it's all stuck then you upright it into the place and secure. Then when your done it all pulls down in one continous pull. Never tried the easy mask..... interesting about the static cling though. the thin plastic .5 mil works the best as the tape sticks to it real well and it clings to the house good. 400' rolls are about $17 retail but we get them for 12 bucks at Menards or MAB and you can do quite a bit of work off $20 in tape and plastic.

0 jnoden 15 Report post Posted May 4, 2008 This thread is a big help. I finally undrstand what I was doing wrong. Too heavy of plastic and wrong taping procedure. Im getting excited thinking about trying it this other way. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
