A masking tape may be used for covering a masking area. The masking tape includes a plurality of masking devices coupled together. Each masking device includes a perimeter and an adhesive layer. Each masking device is coupled to at least two laterally adjacent masking devices at given connection points along the perimeter. Each connection point is weak relative to the masking devices. The adhesive layer couples each masking device to a lower adjacent masking device.

A masking device for covering a masking area includes a first member having a first tab portion and a first base portion. The masking device also includes a second member having a second tab portion and a second base portion. A pull tab of the masking device includes the first tab portion coupled to the second tab portion. The masking device further includes a third member having a member connection surface and a masking connection surface. The member connection surface is opposite the masking connection surface. A base of the masking device includes the first base portion, the second base portion, and the third member. A first adhesive couples the member connection surface of the third member to the first base portion and to the second base portion. The masking connection surface of the third member is made to removably attach to the masking area.

The device assists in rapid caulking of seams between adjacent material; a tape is provided in rolls. The tape has a pair of parallel perforated lines running lengthwise along the center of the tape; and the tape having a pressure-sensitive adhesive coating on a bottom surface of said tape, the pressure-sensitive adhesive coating located between said perforated line and an exterior perimeter of said tape such that said tape is thereby comprised of three sections: a first adhesive section, a non-adhesive section and a second adhesive section, with the non-adhesive section defined by the perforated lines. The tape has an outwardly facing release coating such that the adhesive will releasably engage the top surface of the tape for manual separation of the tape when rolled upon itself. A crease is formed along the center of the tape to facilitate positioning of the tape in a wall corner. The tape also has a perforated removable center to be removed before caulking is applied.

A protective collar for temporarily protecting an item from paint on a surface that is being painted. The protective collar is formed as a band having a convex surface and a concave surface. The band has a uniform thickness between the convex surface and the concave surface in the primary areas that are not tapered. The band embodies a spring bias that biases the band into a circular configuration. The first end and the second end of the band are tapered. Additionally, the band is tapered along its length adjacent a first long edge. This causes the first long edge to be thinner than the opposite second long edge. The tapered regions minimize the footprint of the spring collar on a surface.
