FAQs

What are the dimensions of each tape square?

Each tape square measures 35 x 35mm.

Can I use this tape outdoors?

These tapes are best suited for indoor use on smooth surfaces. They are not designed to withstand outdoor conditions like rain, extreme temperatures, or UV exposure.

Will this damage my walls when removed?

When removed carefully from suitable smooth surfaces, it should not cause significant damage. However, on delicate surfaces or if removed forcefully, there is a risk of paint peeling or surface marks. Test in an inconspicuous area first if concerned.

How many tape squares are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 16 double-sided mounting tape squares.

Is this tape suitable for sticking different materials together?

Yes, it is designed to stick various similar and different materials together, provided the surfaces are smooth and clean.

What is the main advantage over traditional screws?

The main advantage is avoiding the need for tools, drilling holes, and leaving permanent marks, offering a cleaner aesthetic and easier installation for lightweight items.

Troubleshooting

Tape not sticking securely

Ensure surfaces are thoroughly cleaned, dried, and free of any dust, oil, or moisture. Press firmly for a longer duration (e.g., 30-60 seconds) on both sides of the tape.

Difficulty removing the tape

Gently try to lift an edge with a fingernail or a plastic scraper. For stubborn residue, a small amount of rubbing alcohol or a specialized adhesive remover applied carefully to the edge may help. Test removers on an inconspicuous area first.

Item falls after a short period

The item may be too heavy for the tape's load-bearing capacity, or the surface might not be suitable. Re-evaluate the weight of the item and the surface type. Consider using stronger fixings if necessary.

Tape leaves residue

This can happen on certain surfaces. Try gently removing residue with a soft cloth dampened with warm, soapy water or rubbing alcohol. Always test any cleaning solution on a hidden area first.
