Masking of vehicle and components
Published in Julian Woodstock, A Practical Guide to Vehicle Refinishing, 2019
Masking tape (Figure 5.3) is usually made from a crêpe paper-type backing with an adhesive of acrylic or solvent rubber. It is used for everything in the workshop from masking vehicles, to labelling parts, and even makeshift plasters for small cuts! It is available in many sizes, ranging from 18 to 100 mm, with the most popular sizes being 19, 24, 36 and 48 mm. Masking tape may be used in conjunction with other materials such as ‘stat’ sheet or masking paper, or on its own on smaller components such as door handles or lights.
General Safety Practices

The tape to be used should have a cloth body (medical type) to give it sufficient strength. Masking tape or plastic electrical tape is not recommended. A 25% minimum overlap between rows should be used. The flask should be completely taped over the outside wall whenever possible. If it is necessary to view through the wall, the viewing area should be minimized and be shielded by taping a piece of clear plastic in place under the tape. The tape should be cut carefully to expose only as much plastic as necessary.

Wave solder tapes are protective masking tapes used during the manufacture of printed circuit boards for electronic applications where parts of the board must be protected against molten solder. The masking tape and PSA must withstand temperatures up to 260°C and be removed cleanly afterward. Recent moves toward lead-free solders mean that even higher temperature stability is now needed (280°C). Only silicone PSAs are capable of meeting such process requirements.
Especial skill vs. quiet eye duration in basketball free throw: Evidence for the inhibition of competing task solutions
Published in European Journal of Sport Science, 2019
The study was conducted at a regular training facility of the Sport Science Institute with an official FIBA regulation court. The shots were taken with an official basketball (Spalding Co., Bowling Green, USA, Size: six for the female and seven for the male participants) into a regular-sized basketball rim mounted at a height of 3.05 m. Like in earlier studies (e.g. Stöckel & Breslin, 2013), the shots were taken from five different distances facing the front on to the basket: 3.63, 3.93, 4.23 m (i.e. the free throw line according to the official FIBA rules), 4.53, and 4.83 m. The five shooting positions were marked using masking tape. One experimenter and the recording devices were positioned to the left of the GoPro camera. The second experimenter was positioned next to the basket returning the balls after each shot.
Resilient modulus–moisture content relationships for pavement engineering applications
Published in International Journal of Pavement Engineering, 2018
The procedure proposed by Khoury and Zaman (2004) used in this study consists of the following steps: (a) placing a rubber membrane around the specimen after compaction, (b) placing a circular plastic sheet on each end of the specimen, (c) placing two platens on the top of the plastic sheet, (d) sealing off the membrane from the platens with masking tape, (e) placing the specimen in an oven at 41 °C (105°F) for 24 h, (f) removing the specimen from the oven and placing it at room temperature for 30 min, (g) removing the membrane and then weighing the specimen, (h) wiping the membrane with a paper towel to remove any moisture on the membrane, (i) then replacing the membrane around the specimen and sealing off the membrane from the platens with masking tape, (j) placing the specimen (turned upside down) back in the oven, (k) repeating steps (a) through (j) until a target weight is achieved (i.e. target moisture content). After the MR testing each specimen was divided into 25 pieces to determine the moisture content radially and vertically, as proposed by Khoury and Zaman (2004). Findings from this study revealed that the average drying rate was 6 grams of moisture per day and the moisture distribution throughout the radius and depth was within 0.5%. As a result, the moisture content of the bulk specimens was used in establishing the MR–moisture content (MRMC) relationships for specimens.
Long-term atmospheric corrosion of Zn–5%Al-coated steel and HDG during outdoor worldwide exposures
Published in Corrosion Engineering, Science and Technology, 2020

The chemical composition and the coating weights of the HDG and Zn5Al coatings studied are given in Table 1. The samples used for the determination of mass loss were cut from larger sheets to a size of 100 × 150 mm and the samples for corrosion products analysis to the size of 40 × 40 mm. The samples were cleaned twice 10 min in heptane (C7H16) under ultrasonic agitation and then dried in a desiccator for at least 24 h. The corrosion samples were weighed using a laboratory balance (Sartorius CPA224S, ±0.1 mg). Before exposure, a masking tape was applied on the backside and at the edges of all samples.
