Troubleshooting
Tape not sticking well
Ensure surfaces are thoroughly cleaned, dried, and free from dust, oil, or other residues. Press firmly for at least 30 seconds after application.
Item detaches after some time
Check if the surface is appropriate for the tape. Ensure the weight of the item does not exceed the tape's holding capacity for the specific application. Reapply tape ensuring maximum surface contact.
Residue left behind after removal
While designed for residue-free removal, very delicate surfaces might show marks. Gently try to remove residue with a damp cloth or a mild solvent, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
Tape loses adhesion in damp conditions
Ensure surfaces are completely dry before application. Although waterproof, prolonged submersion or constant high humidity without proper surface prep may affect adhesion.
