What This Tape Is For
ScotchBlue 2090 is a medium-adhesion painter’s tape designed for clean paint lines and surface protection on projects where the masking may need to stay in place longer than with conventional tape. The acrylic adhesive releases cleanly without lifting paint or leaving residue for up to 14 days. The tape is UV and sunlight resistant, making it suitable for both interior and exterior work.
The 36 mm (1-1/2 in.) width provides more coverage than narrower detail tapes, making it useful where larger edges, broad trim lines, or wider overspray protection is needed.
Compatible Applications
- Marine painting and hull/deck refinishing
- Fiberglass and gelcoat surface preparation
- Deck hardware and trim masking
- Interior and exterior painted walls and trim
- Woodwork and cabinetry
- Tile, glass, and metal surfaces
- General shop and maintenance masking

Parts Desk Insights
The 1-1/2 in. (36 mm) width is the go-to size for broader masking jobs on boats — covering larger trim edges, deck hardware, and hull lines where the 3/4 in. tape would require multiple passes. The most common issue is the same as with any painter’s tape: leaving it on too long in warm or sunny conditions, which makes removal harder and risks pulling up the finish underneath. Apply to a clean, dry surface and pull off as soon as the coating is cured.
