Abstract: A masking tape tool/dispenser for imparting a lengthwise fold in a length of masking tape. Within the tool, the tape traverses proximate or through a plurality of tape guides for imparting the fold in the tape, such that a first lengthwise region of the adhesive surface is folded against a second lengthwise region of the adhesive surface, leaving sufficient exposed adhesive surface to permit adhesion of the folded tape to a work piece for paint overspray masking. The user can withdraw a continuous length of the folded masking tape from the dispenser, cutting the folded tape when the desired length has been withdrawn. During use, the tool can be hand-held or releasably affixed to a surface.
