FAQs

Is this tape suitable for sensitive skin?

The tape is designed for securing bandages over padding, not for direct, prolonged application to skin. While it's generally safe for short-term use to hold bandages, if you notice any signs of irritation, remove it and use a different method or ensure adequate padding underneath.

Do I need scissors to use this tape?

No, the tape is designed to be easily torn by hand, eliminating the need for scissors for quick application.

How long does a 50m roll typically last?

The lifespan of a 50m roll depends entirely on the frequency and length of bandages or tapes used. For regular use on a single horse, it can last many weeks or months. For occasional use or on multiple animals, it will last longer.

Can this tape be used for injuries?

It can be used to secure dressings over minor wounds or injuries as a temporary measure, but it is not a sterile dressing itself. Always consult a veterinarian for proper wound management.

What is the width of the tape?

This specific product is 75mm wide.

Is the tape waterproof?

The tape has good adhesion but is not specifically marketed as waterproof. It may lose some adhesion if submerged in water for extended periods.

Troubleshooting

Tape is not sticking well.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from hair, dirt, or oils. Apply firm pressure when adhering the tape.

Difficulty tearing the tape cleanly.

Ensure you are tearing perpendicular to the roll. While designed to be easy-to-tear, very cold conditions might make it slightly stiffer. Try warming the tape slightly in your hands.

Residue left after removal.

Gently rub the residue with a clean cloth. For stubborn residue, a small amount of a mild adhesive remover suitable for the surface may be used, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Conveniently easy to tear by hand.
  • Provides a very secure hold for bandages.
  • Durable and suitable for heavy-duty applications.
  • Long roll length offers good value and longevity.
  • Essential and practical tool for any stable environment.

Cons

  • May be too sticky for very sensitive skin if applied directly.
  • Does not offer any stretch, which may limit some applications.
  • Can leave residue if removed very slowly or on certain surfaces.
  • Single color option may not suit all aesthetic preferences.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No complex setup is required. Simply unroll the tape to the desired length and tear it off. Apply directly over bandages or wraps, ensuring firm pressure for optimal adhesion. For best results, apply to clean, dry surfaces.

Compatibility: Compatible with all standard equestrian bandages and wraps. It adheres well to itself and most fabric-based materials. While designed for equestrian use, its strong adhesive makes it suitable for general-purpose temporary repairs where a strong tape is needed.

Care: Store the roll in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the adhesive quality. Keep the end of the tape lightly secured to prevent it from adhering to the roll itself. Clean any minor residue from application tools or surfaces with a mild cleaner. Avoid prolonged direct contact with skin, as the strong adhesive may cause irritation. If skin irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a veterinarian if the animal shows signs of discomfort.
