FAQs
Can this trim be painted?
The trim is designed for use in its original black finish. Painting is not recommended as it may flake off the flexible surface.
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
No, this product is designed for indoor residential applications and should not be exposed to direct sunlight or rain.
What tools do I need for installation?
You only need a tape measure and a pair of sharp household scissors for cutting the strip to the desired length.
Can I remove it later without damaging the wall?
The adhesive is strong; while it can usually be removed, use a hair dryer to warm the strip gently to soften the adhesive before pulling to minimize potential damage to paint.
Does this trim come in other colors?
Yes, it is also available in white to match different interior design schemes.
Troubleshooting
Trim is lifting or peeling off the wall.
Clean the surface thoroughly to remove dust or grease and re-apply. For difficult surfaces like plasterboard, consider applying a thin bead of construction adhesive to the back.
Trim does not stick well in humid conditions.
Ensure the wall is completely dry before application and consider using a supplemental heavy-duty adhesive or contact cement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, first measure the length required and cut the trim with standard household scissors. Ensure the surface is free of dust, grease, and moisture; use a mild degreaser if necessary. Peel back the adhesive liner gradually as you press the trim firmly into place. For corners, the material can be bent directly or mitered if a sharper look is desired. For maintenance, simply wipe the trim with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemical cleaners that might degrade the adhesive bond. If you are applying the trim to freshly painted walls, allow the paint to cure fully for at least 48 hours before installation to prevent paint peeling.
