Glass Protection
A low-tack, adhesive-backed film that protects glass surfaces and saves money by reducing cleanup and labor costs. Available in two grades to meet your application needs and color-coded for easy identification. Clear polyethylene for short-term protection up to 60 days and heavy-duty blue PVC for long term. Takes a fraction of the time to apply (compared to conventional masking methods) and eliminates scratching and etching caused by mortar, stucco and over spray. A Multi-Dispenser is available that frees both hands to allow quick, easy application.
