Can you use the vinyl tape to mask the rubber midsoles on suede sneakers?Updated a year ago

Yes, you can use Angelus Vinyl Tape to mask the rubber midsoles on suede sneakers effectively. The vinyl tape is specifically designed to create sharp lines and protect areas from paint when customizing or repairing sneakers. Its strong adhesive quality ensures that it sticks well to various surfaces, including rubber, without leaving any residue upon removal. When using the tape on suede sneakers, it’s essential to apply it carefully to the rubber midsoles to avoid contact with the suede itself, as the adhesive might affect the delicate suede surface. Before applying the tape, ensure the midsoles are clean and dry to ensure the best adhesion. After finishing your painting or customization work, remove the tape slowly and gently to maintain the crispness of your design and to avoid any damage to the sneakers.

You can also consider a very low tact masking tape. If it should get stuck onto the suede, it will not matter much.
