Troubleshooting
Tape edge is difficult to find
Fold over a small section of the end of the tape after each use to create a tab.

Tape lifting from rough surface
Ensure the surface is completely dry and free of debris, then apply firm, consistent pressure to the tape surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, apply the tape to surfaces that are clean, dry, and free of dust or oils. While the adhesive is strong, pressing firmly along the entire length of the tape after application will maximize the bond strength. When using the tape outdoors, note that extreme temperature fluctuations over long periods may affect the adhesive bond. To remove the tape, pull slowly at a 45-degree angle to minimize adhesive residue. If residue remains, it can generally be removed by dabbing the area with a small piece of the tape itself to lift the remaining adhesive, or by using a mild citrus-based cleaner.
