FAQs

What is the primary use of this double-sided tape?

The primary use is for temporary fabric adhesion, such as hemming clothes, attaching embellishments, or quick costume fixes, without sewing or ironing.

Can this tape be used on all types of fabric?

It works best on common fabrics like cotton and polyester blends. Performance may vary on very delicate, textured, or synthetic materials.

Is the adhesive permanent?

No, the adhesive is designed to be strong but removable without leaving residue, making it suitable for temporary applications.

How long does the tape last once applied?

The bond is strong and long-lasting for a temporary adhesive. It is also washable, but its longevity depends on the fabric type and wear.

Do I need any special tools to apply it?

No special tools are required. The tape is easily cut and can be torn by hand. Scissors can provide cleaner cuts for precise applications.

Can I iron over the tape once applied?

The tape is designed as an alternative to ironing. Applying direct heat may affect its adhesive properties and removability.

What are the dimensions of each roll?

Each roll is 12mm wide and 18 meters long.

Troubleshooting

Tape is not sticking well

Ensure the fabric surfaces are clean, dry, and free from lint or oils. Press firmly for at least 10-15 seconds to ensure good adhesion. Try using a slightly larger piece of tape for the application.

Tape leaves a sticky residue

While designed to be residue-free, some fabrics might react differently. Gently rub the residue with a damp cloth or use a mild fabric cleaner. Ensure you are peeling off the protective backing completely before application.

Difficulty tearing the tape

Use the edge of a table or a flat surface to help start the tear. Ensure you are tearing across the width of the tape. For precise lengths, scissors are recommended.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  2. Peel off the protective backing from one side of the tape.
  3. Firmly press the adhesive side onto the first fabric surface.
