FAQs
What surfaces can this tape be used on?
This tape adheres strongly to wood, masonry, plastic, glass, metal, and many other surfaces. However, due to its aggressive adhesive, it's advisable to test on painted or delicate surfaces first to check for potential residue.

How strong is the tape?
It features high tensile and tear strength, making it suitable for heavy-duty repairs and applications requiring significant holding power.
Can I use this tape for temporary repairs?
While it's ideal for permanent, heavy-duty fixes, it can be used for temporary needs. Be aware that its aggressive adhesive might leave residue upon removal from some surfaces.
How should I store the tape?
Store the tape in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably in its original packaging to protect the adhesive.
What is the 'Polybonded CO-EX Technology®'?
This technology refers to the tape's construction, which uses three interlocking co-extruded layers to provide superior adhesion, strength, and durability.
Will this tape hold up in outdoor conditions?

Troubleshooting
Tape is not adhering well
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust, oil, or moisture. Reapply with firm, even pressure.
Tape twists or curls during application
Apply the tape steadily, laying it down smoothly. Avoid excessive stretching before contact and ensure the surface is flat or appropriately managed for curves.
Difficulty tearing the tape
Ensure you are tearing against the grain. The tape is designed for easy tearing; check for any obstructions or damage to the roll edge.
Residue left on the surface after removal
Gently rub the residue with a cloth dampened with a mild solvent such as rubbing alcohol or a commercial adhesive remover. Test the solvent on an inconspicuous area first.
