FAQs

How much weight can the tape hold?

The tape can hold up to 5kg, provided the surfaces are properly prepared and the tape is applied correctly.

Can I use this tape on wallpaper?

Is the tape waterproof?

The tape is humidity resistant, making it suitable for humid environments. However, it is not fully waterproof; prolonged direct water exposure should be avoided.

How do I remove the tape?

Removing the tape can be tricky. Use a thin, strong wire or floss to saw the tape between the surfaces. Apply heat using a hairdryer to soften the adhesive before attempting removal.

Can I use this tape on outdoor surfaces?

No, this tape is not designed for outdoor use and should only be used in interior applications.

What surfaces is this tape compatible with?

The tape is compatible with painted walls, metal, tile, ceramic, and most plastics. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.

How long should I wait before putting weight on the item?

Allow the bond to cure for 24 hours before placing any significant weight on the item.

Where can I buy this tape?

Troubleshooting

The mirror or item is not staying in place.

Ensure the surfaces were thoroughly cleaned before application. Check that the tape is making full contact with both surfaces. Increase the pressing time to ensure a better bond. If the item is too heavy, consider using additional tape or a different mounting method.

The tape is not sticking to the wall.

Make sure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free of dust and grease. Try applying more pressure when attaching the tape to the wall. Ensure the wall surface is compatible with the adhesive.

The tape is visible after mounting.

Carefully trim any excess tape around the edges of the mirror or item. Make sure you are using the correct width of the tape.
