Product Information
Full details
The Prym Fixo self-adhesive tape measure is an ideal addition for tailors, crafters, and DIY enthusiasts who want to streamline their workspace by integrating a permanent measuring tool directly onto their workbench. It provides the key benefit of hands-free, constant access to a 150cm measurement scale, eliminating the need to search for a loose tape measure while working with fabrics or materials. However, users should note that once the adhesive backing is applied to a surface, it is designed for permanent installation and is not intended for frequent repositioning.

FAQs
Can I remove the tape after it has been applied?
The Prym Fixo is designed for long-term, semi-permanent installation. While it can be removed, it may leave adhesive residue or damage the finish of your furniture.
Is the tape waterproof?
The tape is resistant to standard craft room conditions, but it is not intended to be submerged in water or used in high-moisture, outdoor environments.
Can I use these tapes for measuring body dimensions?
No, these tapes are specifically designed to be mounted on flat surfaces and are not flexible enough for body measurements.
What is the total length of each tape?
Each individual tape strip is 150cm long.
Will this adhere to fabric cutting mats?
It may adhere to some plastic-based cutting mats, but it works best on solid table surfaces like wood or laminate.
Troubleshooting
Tape is peeling at the corners
Ensure the surface was cleaned with alcohol before application. If it continues to peel, use a small amount of double-sided craft adhesive or specialized glue to reinforce the edges.
Difficulty reading markings
Wipe the surface with a lint-free cloth. If the tape has become scratched, ensure your workspace is clear of sharp metal tools that may damage the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your work surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or oils to allow the adhesive to bond correctly. Measure your desired length, trim the tape carefully with sharp scissors, and peel the backing paper off slowly while pressing the tape firmly into place. The tape is compatible with most flat, smooth surfaces including laminate, finished wood, and metal tabletops. To maintain the tape, wipe it down occasionally with a dry cloth to remove lint or debris. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive scrubbers, as these may damage the printed measurement markings over time.
