Troubleshooting
Tape tears when unrolling
Unroll the tape more slowly and steadily. Ensure the tape is not snagged on anything. If the problem persists, the roll may have been damaged in storage or transit.
Tape leaves residue after removal
Ensure the tape was removed within the recommended 3-day window and while the paint was not fully cured. Remove slowly and at an angle. For stubborn residue, gently clean with a mild solvent or warm soapy water, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
Paint bleeds under the tape
Ensure the tape is pressed down firmly along all edges to create a complete seal. Check that the surface is smooth and free of debris where the tape is applied. Avoid applying too much paint at once near the taped edge.
Tape does not stick securely
Verify the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. If the surface is highly textured or porous, the tape may require a primer or extra pressure during application. For very smooth surfaces like glass, a quick wipe with rubbing alcohol can improve adhesion.
