Product Information

Full details

This Bison Double Sided Adhesive Tape is designed for users seeking a strong, moisture-resistant alternative to traditional fasteners like screws and nails for light indoor and outdoor applications. Its key benefit is providing a clean, fast, and easy bonding solution for smooth surfaces. A minor caveat is its suitability primarily for light objects, making it less ideal for heavy-duty structural fixing.

FAQs

What types of surfaces can I use this tape on?

This tape is ideal for smooth and even surfaces including wood, metal, plastics, glass, and painted walls. It is not recommended for rough, porous, or uneven surfaces.

Is this tape suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the tape is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Its moisture-resistant properties make it durable in various conditions.

Can this tape hold heavy items?

This tape is designed for fixing light objects. It is not intended for heavy-duty structural applications. Always test adhesion with the specific object and surface.

How long does it take for the bond to become permanent?

For maximum strength, it is recommended to allow the adhesive to cure for at least 24 hours after application before the object is subjected to stress.

Will this tape damage painted surfaces when removed?

While it offers a clean bonding solution, removal from delicate painted surfaces or wallpaper may cause damage or leave residue. Test on an inconspicuous area first or use a mild adhesive remover if needed.

Can I use this tape in a steamy bathroom?

Yes, the tape is moisture-resistant and suitable for use in bathrooms and kitchens where humidity is common.

What are the dimensions of the tape?

The tape measures 1.5 meters in length and 20 millimeters in width.

Troubleshooting

Tape not adhering strongly

Ensure surfaces are thoroughly cleaned, dried, and free from dust, grease, or moisture. Press firmly on both surfaces during application and allow 24 hours for full cure.

Residue left on surface after removal

Gently rub the residue with a damp cloth or use a mild adhesive remover. Test any remover on an inconspicuous area first.

Tape fails in very humid environments

While moisture-resistant, extreme or constant saturation may affect adhesion. Ensure surfaces are dry upon application and consider additional mechanical fixings for critical applications in very wet areas.

Difficulty cutting the tape cleanly

Use sharp scissors or a utility knife. Applying slight heat (e.g., from a hairdryer on a low setting) to the tape before cutting can sometimes make it easier.
