Abstract: A paint removing substance is mounted on an elongated backing member and a cover sheet is removably mounted on top of the substance. The backing member and cover are helically wound onto a reel and stored in a dispensing container. The container includes two dispensing openings, one for the paint-removing substance containing backing member, and one for the cover sheet. Some portions of the backing member are free of paint-removing substance and adhesive material is located in those areas whereby the tape can be removably affixed to the paint containing substrate.
