Troubleshooting

Tape not adhering properly

Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Verify that the surface is compatible with the adhesive. Apply firm pressure during application to ensure good contact.

Bubbles or wrinkles in the application

Apply the tape slowly and smoothly, pressing from the center outwards. If bubbles are present, carefully lift the edge of the tape and reapply with pressure. For minor wrinkles, use a smoother tool to press them flat.

Difficulty removing backing paper
