3M™ Outdoor Masking and Stucco Tape 5959 is designed for construction, marine and
maintenance applications. It is a robust tape made with polyethylene film over a dense
cloth scrim and a blend of natural and synthetic rubber adhesive. With its 90 day UV
resistant waterproof backing and high shear resistant adhesive, it is an excellent choice
for outdoor holding and masking applications. The unique adhesive removes cleanly
from most opaque surfaces up to 90 days after application. The strong backing makes it
ideal for pulling through spatter from stucco and EIFS applications.
