Masking Size Guide

A practical measurement checklist before requesting a plug, cap or tape recommendation.

Measure the feature that must stay clean

For holes, capture diameter, depth, thread and whether the hole is blind or through. For studs and tubes, capture outside diameter and coverage depth.

Describe the process

State the coating or finishing process, maximum temperature, dwell time and any liquid or chemistry exposure.

Test the intended fit

Use a sample to confirm insertion, removal, coverage and post-process performance before a production order.
