USING THIS PRODUCT
This masking station will hold two rolls of masking paper, with two rolls of tape for each roll.
By aligning the tape with the edge of the paper, and threading the materials through each
cutter blade, it is possible to dispense and cut off a preassembled section of masking paper
with tape along two edges. This makes it very convenient to mask objects such as vehicles
and equipment prior to painting or other treatment.
