FAQs
What is the primary use for this tape?
This tape is primarily used for decorative embellishment in crafts, clothing, packaging, and home decor projects, offering a unique ribbed texture.
Is this tape washable?
Yes, items embellished with this tape can typically be spot cleaned with a damp cloth. For machine washing, use a gentle cycle with cold water and lay flat to dry.
Can I iron the tape?
It is generally not recommended to iron the tape directly, as high heat can damage the polyester fibers and texture. If ironing is necessary on a fabric item, use a low heat setting and protect the tape with a pressing cloth.
What adhesive works best with this tape?
The best adhesive depends on the project. For fabric, sewing is ideal. For paper or other crafts, strong craft glue, fabric glue, or double-sided tape are good options.
Is the 'Steel Blue' color true to the image?
Color representation can vary slightly between monitors, but 'Steel Blue' is a deep, muted blue hue. It's always best to check product images carefully.
Does Prym offer this tape in different widths?
Yes, Prym offers this ribbed polyester tape in a selection of different widths to suit various project requirements.
Troubleshooting
Tape not adhering well
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or oils. Use a stronger adhesive suitable for the material or consider sewing the tape for a permanent hold.
Ribbed texture snagging
Be cautious when applying to areas that may experience significant friction. If snagging occurs on fabric, reinforce the area with stitching.
Color fading after washing
While the tape is easy-care, prolonged exposure to harsh detergents or direct sunlight during washing might cause fading. Use mild detergents and wash in cold water, laying flat to dry away from direct sun.
