Material
Why washi?
Washi is Japanese paper made from long, fine fibres. As a masking tape it is thin and strong and lies flat on the surface. That helps you get sharp paint lines.

Questions & answers
What is the difference between crepe masking tape and washi masking tape?
Washi masking tape has a thin, smooth backing made of Japanese washi paper; classic masking tape has a crepe paper backing. A thin, smooth backing usually lies flatter. All three BRAUJE EDGE tapes have a Japanese washi backing and are 80 to 110 µm thin (total thickness including adhesive). For rough masking jobs, simple crepe tape is often enough.
Is EDGE GOLD a gold tape?
Yes. Gold tape is what painters call gold-coloured washi masking tape. EDGE GOLD is such a gold masking tape: for smooth surfaces, indoors and outdoors, UV-resistant for up to 16 weeks according to the data sheet.
Which masking tape for wallpaper and freshly painted walls?
EDGE VIOLET. Its adhesion is deliberately low (1.02 N/cm to steel), and it is made for wallpaper, plasterboard and freshly painted surfaces indoors. Let fresh paint dry for at least 24 hours before you apply it.
Which tape holds outdoors on facades, render and concrete?
EDGE RED: a fibre-reinforced washi tape with 110 µm total thickness and 2.0 N/cm adhesion to steel, UV-resistant for up to 16 weeks according to the data sheet. Slightly damp surfaces, for example with morning dew, are fine: wipe briefly and apply the tape straight away. Not on wet surfaces.
How do I stop paint bleeding under the tape?
Pick the tape that suits the surface and work on a clean, dry surface. GOLD and RED: press the edge on firmly with a spatula or squeegee. VIOLET: apply without pressure and smooth the edge with a fingertip only. On rough surfaces, first paint a thin coat of the base colour along the tape edge.
When do I remove the tape?
Right after the last coat, while the paint is wet: evenly, at an angle of about 45° and without jerking, away from the paint. Pull EDGE VIOLET off slowly. If the paint has already dried, score the edge first with a sharp knife.
How long can masking tape stay on outdoors?
Remove BRAUJE right after the last coat, while the paint is still wet – that gives the cleanest edge. The UV resistance (EDGE GOLD and EDGE RED up to 16 weeks outdoors, EDGE VIOLET indoor only) tells you how long the tape withstands sunlight – not how long it can still be removed cleanly afterwards.
For comparison: manufacturers of washi masking tapes state periods from a few days to several weeks for clean removal, depending on the tape and use (manufacturers’ information, as of October 2026, without guarantee). There is no BRAUJE measurement for this yet.
Which widths are available?
EDGE GOLD: 19, 25, 30, 38 and 50 mm. EDGE VIOLET: 19, 25, 30 and 38 mm. EDGE RED: 30, 38 and 50 mm. Every roll is 50 m long.
How should I store masking tape?
At 18 to 21 °C, at no more than 65 % relative humidity, out of direct sunlight and with no weight on the rolls. In their original packaging BRAUJE rolls keep for up to 12 months according to the data sheet.
Where can I buy BRAUJE?
In store at the WERKMIT branches in Vienna’s 15th, 16th and 20th districts and at MIXFIX in the 11th district. Retailers will find terms and a free sample pack on the retailer page.
Where does BRAUJE come from?
Original Japanese washi, designed and developed in Austria. BRAUJE is distributed by Werkmit beotol Werkzeuge GmbH in Tullnerbach, Austria.
