ARR is proud to announce the Blue Tube has been IMPROVED!
Stronger, more humidity resistant and manufactured with a new proprietary non water based adhesive that carries a Type II water resistance, plus a 30 day no questions asked return policy!
Straighter and stronger than the competition! Beware of copycats made with generic "fish paper!" Stick with the best and buy genuine original Blue Tube 2.0 from a dealer near you or on this site!

Care and Feeding of Blue Tube
For best results, keep dry, rough up the surface with fine sandpaper and seal with a few coats of sanding sealer. Sand and paint as usual. Sanding sealer is a thin penetrating liquid for wood. It will wet the vulcanized fiber, soak in and dry. This will make a vapor barrier and a great base to paint on. No primer is necessary. Sand lightly until smooth. That's it!
