FAQs

What tools do I need?

You'll need a measuring tape, scissors or a utility knife, and a clean cloth. A hairdryer can be useful.

Can I use this tape on curved edges?

While the tape is flexible, it works best on straight edges. Heavily curved edges may be challenging.

How do I clean the edges after application?

Use a damp cloth to wipe the edges. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Is the color a perfect match?

The Dove Grey color is designed to match many common cabinet finishes, but there might be slight variations. It's recommended to test a small piece first.

Can I paint over the tape?

It is not recommended to paint over the tape as it may affect its adhesion and durability.

What is the shelf life of the tape?

When stored properly in a cool, dry place, the tape can last for several years.

Troubleshooting

Tape is not sticking properly.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Apply firm and even pressure during application.

Air bubbles are trapped under the tape.

Carefully lift the tape and reapply, smoothing out any bubbles as you go.

Edges are peeling off.

Make sure to apply heat from a hairdryer to reactivate the adhesive and apply pressure to the peeling areas to ensure proper adhesion. Alternatively, use a strong adhesive.
