Troubleshooting

Tape not sticking well

Ensure the application surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, or other contaminants. Apply firm, even pressure across the tape surface upon application.

Water seeping through the seal

Verify that the tape was applied correctly, with all edges sealed down firmly. For critical applications, consider applying a second layer of tape overlapping the first.

Difficulty removing tape residue

For minor residue, try gently rubbing with a cloth dampened with a mild solvent like rubbing alcohol. Test in an inconspicuous area first.

Tape tears unevenly

While designed for strength, use a sharp utility knife or scissors for a clean cut. Avoid tearing by hand for precise applications.
