Troubleshooting

Tape frays when cut

Seal the cut edges by lightly singeing with a flame (use caution and test on a scrap piece first) or by applying a small amount of fabric glue or fray-check liquid.

Adhesive is not holding securely

Ensure both the tape surface and the application surface are clean, dry, and free from dust or oils. Use a stronger fabric adhesive or consider sewing for a more permanent bond.

Color appears different than expected

Screen colors can vary. It is recommended to order a small sample or consult product images carefully before committing to a large purchase.
