Questions about EDGE VIOLET

What is EDGE VIOLET made for?

For delicate surfaces indoors: paper and non-woven wallpaper, patterned wallpaper, plasterboard, freshly painted walls, ceilings and cornices. Its adhesion of 1.02 N/cm to steel is deliberately low.

Can I put EDGE VIOLET on freshly painted walls?

Yes. Let the paint dry for at least 24 hours before you apply EDGE VIOLET.

Can I use EDGE VIOLET outdoors?

No. EDGE VIOLET is for indoor use only and, according to the data sheet, not UV-resistant (0 months). Outdoors, use EDGE GOLD on smooth and EDGE RED on rough surfaces.

How do I apply EDGE VIOLET correctly?

Without pressure: lay the tape on and smooth the edge with a fingertip only. According to the data sheet no spatula and no squeegee; do not press the edge on with a fingernail either.

Does EDGE VIOLET come off without residue?

According to the data sheet its adhesion is deliberately low, for residue-free removal from delicate surfaces. To get there, remove the tape right after the last coat while it is wet, slowly and evenly at about 45°, and do not leave it on longer than necessary.

How long can EDGE VIOLET stay on?

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 paint works with EDGE VIOLET?

The data sheet recommends water-based paint.

Which width should I use for what?

According to the product data sheet: 19 mm for sockets, light switches, narrow mouldings and picture frames, 25 mm for window and door frames indoors, shelves and furniture edges, 30 mm for ceiling lines, wall edges and colour blocks on wallpaper, 38 mm for wide skirting boards, door frames, cornices and radiator niches. Every roll is 50 m long.

What does EDGE VIOLET not stick to?

According to the data sheet it is not recommended for outdoor surfaces, rough surfaces and render, natural and artificial stone, galvanised metal, copper and anodised metal, lead and lead paint, weathered PVC, or wet or greasy surfaces.

How thin is EDGE VIOLET?

80 µm total thickness including adhesive; the washi backing alone is 65 µm (test standard PSTC-133). That makes it the thinnest tape in the EDGE System.
