Troubleshooting
Tape not adhering well
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, or grease. Apply firm pressure while laying the tape.
Difficulty removing tape cleanly
For sensitive surfaces, try using a heat gun on a low setting to gently warm the adhesive before peeling slowly. Alternatively, use a mild solvent (like isopropyl alcohol) on a cloth to help break down the adhesive, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
Tape leaving residue
Apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol or a dedicated adhesive remover to a cloth and gently rub the residue. Always test the remover in a hidden spot first.
