FAQs

What tools do I need?

You'll need an iron or heat gun, a clean cloth, a sharp knife or edge trimmer, and a measuring tape.

Can I use this on a curved edge?

The tape is designed for straight edges. Using it on curves may prove challenging.

How do I remove the tape?

Apply heat to soften the adhesive and carefully peel off the tape. Use a solvent to remove any remaining adhesive residue.

What type of heat source should I use?

An iron or a heat gun are recommended. Set the heat to a medium setting to avoid damaging the tape or worktop.

How long should I apply heat?

Apply heat evenly until the adhesive melts and bonds to the worktop edge. The exact time will vary based on the heat source.

Can I paint the tape?

The tape's finish is usually intended to be the final aesthetic. Painting the tape is not recommended as it may affect adhesion and durability.

What if I run out of tape?

Additional rolls of B&Q Iron On Pre Glued White Worktop Edging Tape can be purchased to complete the project.

Troubleshooting

Tape is not adhering properly.

Ensure the worktop edge is clean and dry. Apply sufficient heat and pressure during application. Use a stronger adhesive if required.

Tape is bubbling after application.

Re-apply heat and smooth the tape with a clean cloth, removing any trapped air bubbles.
