Troubleshooting

Tape doesn't adhere well.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of any contaminants like grease or oil. Press the tape firmly to ensure good contact.

Remove the tape slowly and at a 45-degree angle. If residue remains, gently wipe with a damp cloth or use a residue remover specifically designed for masking tape.
