Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Scotch Paper Tape is designed to work with standard tape dispensers. Simply load the roll onto the dispenser spindle and thread the tape end through the cutting edge. Ensure the dispenser is stable before dispensing.
Compatibility: This tape is compatible with most paper, cardboard, and non-porous surfaces. It adheres best to clean, dry surfaces. Avoid applying to excessively dusty, oily, or wet areas for optimal performance.
Care: Store unused tape rolls in their original packaging or a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This helps maintain adhesive quality and prevents drying out. To clean surfaces where the tape was applied, gently peel off the tape and use a damp cloth or mild soap solution if residue remains. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface.
