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.
