FAQs

What tools do I need?

You'll need an iron, a measuring tape, a utility knife, and a clean cloth.

Can I use a hairdryer instead of an iron?

It is recommended to use an iron for a more even heat distribution.

How do I cut the tape?

Use a sharp utility knife to trim the edges after the tape has cooled.

What if the tape is slightly short?

Overlap the tape slightly and apply heat, then trim any excess. Consider using a small piece of matching worktop material.

How do I clean the edges?

Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Can this tape be used on curved edges?

It's best suited for straight edges. For curved edges, consider a more flexible edging solution.

What should I do if the tape peels off?

Re-apply with sufficient heat and pressure, ensuring the surface is clean.

Troubleshooting

Tape is not sticking properly.

Ensure sufficient heat is applied and the edge is clean. Press firmly after heating.

Tape is bubbling after application.

Reduce heat and apply even pressure to avoid air pockets.

The color is not matching the worktop.

Ensure the black color is compatible with the worktop. Test in an inconspicuous area first.
