Claim:
1. A roll of composite edge trimming tape, the composite edge trimming tape comprising a filament-bearing adhesive tape adhesively attached to a masking tape, wherein: the filament-bearing adhesive tape comprises an elongate substrate folded onto itself so as to form a folded edge, the folded substrate having a first exterior surface and a second exterior surface opposite the first exterior surface, the first exterior surface having adhesive on at least a portion thereof, and a filament enveloped and releasably secured within the substrate along the folded edge and between the first and second exterior surfaces, the filament-bearing adhesive tape having a distal edge opposite the folded edge and having a width being the distance between the filament and the distal edge; the masking tape comprises an elongate substrate and an adhesive layer, the masking tape having a width greater than the width of the filament-bearing adhesive tape and having first and second edges, a portion of the adhesive layer of the masking tape adhesively attaching the substrate of the masking tape to the second exterior surface of the filament-bearing adhesive tape with the first edge of the masking tape being proximate to the filament; and the composite edge trimming tape is rolled upon itself a plurality of times to form the roll of composite edge trimming tape.
