Can I use this tape on curved edges?

Yes, but it may require more patience and careful application to avoid wrinkles.

How do I remove the tape if I make a mistake?

Applying heat can help soften the adhesive for easier removal, but it may damage the worktop.

Use a sharp utility knife or edge trimmer, holding it at a 90-degree angle to the surface.

How long should I apply heat?

Typically 15-30 seconds per section, but this may vary depending on the iron and the material.
