What is the DoubleTaper DT5000?

It is a specialized masking tool designed to create custom double-sided tape instantly from your existing supply of standard tapes. It allows you to quickly attach masking materials like plastic sheeting, paper, or cardboard to surfaces.

What types of tape can I use?

The dispenser is compatible with most standard tapes, including masking tape, duct tape, and packaging tape. It accommodates tapes from 1/4 inch up to 3 inches wide wide with a 3 inch diameter core.

Can I use two different types of tape at once?

Yes. A key benefit is the ability to customize the adhesive properties on each side. For example, you can use a delicate-surface tape for the wall and a high-tack tape to hold heavy plastic sheeting.

How does it save money?

By creating your own double-sided tape and using large rolls of painter's plastic (e.g., 9ft x 400ft), you can save up to 47% per linear foot compared to traditional hand-maskers and pre-made double-sided tapes. Since it saves time, it also reduces labor costs for contractors.

How do I load the device?

To load the DT5000, place two rolls of tape so the adhesive sides face each other. Pull the tapes through the weaving pins and over the roller so they bond together before application.

Is it suitable for overhead work?

Yes. You can add a pole adapter to the unit to apply tape to high walls, ceilings, or floors without needing a ladder or straining your back.

Where can I buy ProTekt Tools?

You can purchase directly from the ProTekt Tools website for approximately $59.95, or order through your local Sherwin-Williams representative using Item# 102795291.
