FAQs
Is this tape suitable for permanent seams?
No, this is a strong adhesive tape designed for temporary holding during the crafting or alteration process. It is not intended as a permanent seam solution.
Can I use this on regular fabric?
While it is listed as suitable for fabric, it is specifically formulated for leather and similar materials. Performance on delicate or loosely woven fabrics may vary and could leave residue.
How long does the adhesive last?
The adhesive is designed to hold pieces together during construction or alteration. It is intended to be removed once permanent fastening (like stitching) is completed, or if adjustments are needed. It is not meant for long-term adhesion on its own.
What is the best way to remove the tape?
Gently peel the tape back slowly at a low angle. If any residue remains, use a leather cleaner or a mild adhesive remover tested on a hidden area first.
What are the dimensions of the tape?
The tape is 12 mm wide and comes on a 5-meter roll.
Can this tape be used on the outside of a leather garment?
It is best used on the inside or where it will be hidden, as it is designed to be invisible *within* a seam or fold. Applying it externally may affect the leather's surface appearance.
Troubleshooting
Tape is not adhering well.
Ensure both leather surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, oils, or finishes. Re-apply pressure firmly to the taped area.
Tape is visible after application.
Ensure the tape is applied flat without wrinkles or bubbles. Trim excess tape carefully before pressing the second layer of leather.
Difficulty removing the tape.
Gently peel the tape back at a low angle. If residue remains, try using a leather cleaner or a specialized adhesive remover, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
