FAQs

Does this tape need to be heated to stick?

No, the Evo-Stik Flashband is cold-applied and self-adhesive, requiring no heat or naked flames.

Can I use this on a surface that is constantly wet?

The surface must be dry during the application process. Once cured, it is waterproof, but it will not adhere to a wet or running surface.

How do I remove the backing paper?

Peel the backing away slowly while applying the tape to the surface to ensure you maintain control over the alignment.

Is this safe to use on drinking water pipes?

No, this product is intended for roof and gutter maintenance and is not rated for potable water systems.

What is the shelf life of the primer?

It is recommended to use the primer within its expiry date provided on the packaging and ensure the cap is tightly sealed after use.

Can it be painted over?

While the product is designed for exterior performance, applying paint may affect the flexibility of the strip; it is best left in its natural state.

Troubleshooting

Tape is not sticking to the surface

The surface is likely damp or dirty. Clean thoroughly, let it dry completely, and re-apply the primer.

Air bubbles forming under the tape

Use a smooth, hard object or a seam roller to work air pockets out toward the edges during initial application.

Tape peeling at the corners

Ensure the surface was primed adequately; press down firmly until the adhesive has fully cured to the substrate.

Pros and Cons

  • No heat or professional welding equipment required
  • Effective across a wide variety of climates
  • Includes essential primer for better surface preparation

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, clean the target area thoroughly with a wire brush or damp cloth, ensuring the surface is entirely dry. Apply the included primer to porous surfaces to improve the bonding capability. Peel the backing paper away incrementally while pressing the tape firmly into place with a roller or a dry cloth to prevent air pockets. The tape is compatible with brick, stone, concrete, slate, and most metals. To maintain the seal, avoid dragging heavy debris across the repaired area and inspect annually for signs of lifting or mechanical damage.
