If you repair or refurbish watches or watchbands in your shop, you need this masking tape. This tape comes in four sizes---3, 6, 7 or 8 millimeter, depending on the size watch you’re polishing.  Simply use the amount of tape you need to protect the part of the watch you aren’t working on. 

This tape is perfect for polishing links on watches by simply masking off the area of the watch that doesn’t need polishing.   When removed, the tape won’t leave any sticky residue behind. 

On this watch band I will mask off the center of the links because it's a brush finish and I want to polish the outside of the links which is a shiny, bright finish.  Since the links are pretty wide in the center I'll use the 8mm wide masking tape.  If you're working on a ladies watch you may want to use a 3 or 6mm, all depends on how wide your links are. 

What I like to do is peel off a piece that's just a little bit longer than the links and start applying the tape.  So I'll pull off a couple inches.  Great thing about this tape is it leaves no residue, you can apply, peel off, apply, peel off, and it doesn't matter.  So what I like to do is come up straight up to the edge, find that edge, and I just work all the way around the band just like that.  I'm just following that edge right there, and you go all the way to the end. And like I said if you peel off and reapply, it doesn't matter, no residue whatsoever.  All the way to the end and then I fold it over, stick it on really really well.  And then you will apply your center.  

Peel off another piece.  Again this is 8mm wide, you need two pieces of tape.  Okay and I'll start working the opposite side, same as the other.  Start on your edge and you just keep masking away.

So now that the center is masked off, you can go straight to polish and once you're done, you just peel it right off, no residue left.  Quick and easy.
