The 3M™ Taping Wand is an easy-to-use tool to help locate and achieve wet-out for 3M™ Acrylic Foam Tapes at a constant offset distance. This tool is designed to help technicians achieve greater accuracy while boosting productivity when applying tape to exterior trim parts.
Achieve More Consistent Taping Results
When applying 3M™ Acrylic Foam Tapes, you can rely on the 3M™ Taping Wand to help position the tape at a consistent offset distance from a specified point on the body of the vehicle. This tool helps eliminate wandering or wavy applications of tape that can occur if complete wet-out is not achieved. Using the 3M™ Taping Wand is helpful in the application of body side moldings, wheel flares and appliques.
Improve the Wet-Out Process
The 3M taping wand helps promote more complete "wet out," which helps ensure a more effective bond between surface and tape. "Wetting out" means the adhesive flows and covers a surface to maximize the contact area to create a secure bond.
Custom Design Option Available
To meet your specialized needs, 3M will custom design this tool for specific applications and tape widths.
