FAQs

What tools do I need?

You'll need an iron, a clean cloth, a sharp utility knife or trimming tool, and possibly sandpaper.

Can I use this tape on any worktop?

While generally compatible, it's advisable to test in an inconspicuous area first.

How do I remove the tape if I make a mistake?

Heat the tape with an iron to soften the adhesive, then carefully peel it away. Clean the surface before reapplying.

How durable is the edging tape?

When applied correctly, it provides a durable and long-lasting finish.

Can I use steam with the iron?

No, do not use steam. Use a dry iron at the appropriate temperature.

What if the tape doesn't perfectly match my existing worktop?

Consider the overall improvement in appearance. The oak effect is designed to blend well, but matching exactly can be difficult.

How do I clean the edges?

Wipe with a damp cloth; avoid using abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Tape is not sticking properly.

Ensure sufficient heat and pressure are applied during the ironing process. Check that the iron setting is appropriate for the tape's adhesive. Reapply heat and pressure, paying close attention to the edges.

Bubbles or gaps appear in the edging.

Re-apply heat and pressure to the affected area. Use a cloth to protect the worktop from the iron. Ensure the edge is clean before reapplying.

Excess tape is difficult to trim.

Use a sharp blade. Score the tape lightly along the edge of the worktop, and then carefully trim it. A sharp blade is essential for a clean finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure the worktop edge is clean, dry, and free of any old adhesive or debris. Lightly sand the edge if necessary to improve adhesion.
Application: Position the tape along the edge. Using a household iron set to a medium heat setting (without steam), apply heat evenly to the tape, moving slowly along the entire length.
Pressure: Apply firm pressure with the iron to ensure the adhesive melts and bonds to the worktop. Use a cloth to protect the worktop from the iron.
Trimming: Once cooled, use a sharp utility knife or a trimming tool to remove any excess tape at the edges. Sand the edges gently to remove any small imperfections.
Compatibility: This tape is designed for use with a variety of worktop materials. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Care: Avoid excessive moisture exposure. Clean with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners.
