FAQs

What is the best way to write on the tape?

How durable is the tape?

Can I remove and reapply the tape?

Troubleshooting

Tape not sticking well

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, or moisture. Press down firmly after application.

Tape leaving residue

While designed for clean removal, residue can occasionally occur on certain porous or delicate surfaces. Try gently warming the tape with a hairdryer on a low setting and peeling slowly. Test in an inconspicuous area first.

Tape tearing unevenly

Use a sharp cutting tool like scissors or a craft knife for cleaner edges. If tearing by hand, try a quick, decisive pull.

Ink smudging when writing on tape

Avoid using liquid-based inks. Use a permanent marker or an oil-based ballpoint pen for writing on the tape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Simply unroll the desired length of tape from the roll. The tape can be cut or torn by hand. Apply it to a clean, dry surface. For best results, ensure the surface is free from dust and oils.

Compatibility:

This tape is compatible with most dry surfaces, including paper, cardstock, painted walls (test in an inconspicuous area first), wood, glass, and plastic. It is not recommended for use on very delicate or freshly painted surfaces without prior testing.

Care:

Store the tape in its original packaging or a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the adhesive quality. Ensure the end of the tape is stuck back onto the roll or a protective surface to prevent it from drying out or picking up dust.
