FAQs

What is the maximum weight this tape can hold?

The tape can hold up to 10kg per 10cm of tape applied, provided it is used on suitable smooth, firm surfaces and applied correctly.

Can I use this tape on wallpaper?

It is not recommended for use on wallpaper, especially textured or delicate types. It is best suited for smooth, firm surfaces like painted walls, tiles, or metal.

Is this tape waterproof?

While it provides a strong bond, it is not specifically designed for constant immersion in water. It is suitable for general indoor use, including bathrooms, but prolonged exposure to high humidity or direct water contact may affect adhesion over time.

How do I remove the tape if I make a mistake?

This is a permanent tape. Removal is difficult and may damage the surface. If necessary, gently warm the tape with a hairdryer on a low setting and carefully attempt to peel it off.

Can I use this tape outdoors?

The product description does not specify outdoor use. It is generally intended for indoor applications on smooth, firm surfaces.

What is the maximum thickness of an object I can mount?

The tape is designed for flat objects up to a maximum thickness of 10mm.

Does the foam core mean it can stick to slightly uneven surfaces?

Yes, the foam core allows the tape to compress slightly and conform to minor surface irregularities, enhancing adhesion on surfaces that are not perfectly flat but still smooth and firm.

Troubleshooting

Tape not holding securely

Ensure surfaces were thoroughly cleaned, dried, and degreased before application. Verify the object thickness is within the 10mm limit and the surface is smooth and firm. Press firmly for the recommended duration on both sides.

Difficulty removing protective backing

Use a fingernail or a thin, flat tool (like a plastic scraper) to carefully lift an edge of the backing. Avoid using sharp metal objects that could damage the adhesive.

Item falls after a short period

The weight of the item may exceed the tape's capacity for the length used. Increase the amount of tape applied (10cm per kg). Re-apply following surface preparation and application instructions precisely.

Tape appears to be sticking to the wrong surface

This tape is permanent. If mistakenly applied, attempt removal with care using a hairdryer on a low setting to warm the adhesive, then gently pry the item off. Be prepared for potential surface damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a very strong and permanent fix
  • Eliminates the need for drilling or screws
  • Suitable for a wide range of smooth, firm surfaces
  • Can hold significant weight per length of tape
  • Foam core offers some shock absorption and adaptability

Cons

  • Permanent bond means repositioning is difficult or impossible
  • Not suitable for textured, dusty, or very flexible surfaces
  • Requires careful application to ensure maximum adhesion
  • Holding capacity is dependent on correct application and surface preparation
  • Maximum object thickness is limited to 10mm

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or silicone. For best adhesion on freshly painted walls, allow paint to cure for at least three weeks.
  2. Cutting: Cut the tape to the required length. For heavier items, use more tape; a general guideline is 10cm of tape per kilogram of weight.
  3. Application: Peel off the protective backing from one side of the tape. Apply the tape to the object you wish to mount, pressing firmly for at least 5 seconds.
  4. Mounting: Peel off the second protective backing. Carefully position the object onto the desired surface and press firmly for at least 5 seconds.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable Surfaces: Most smooth, firm surfaces including painted walls, tiles, metal, plastic, and glass.
  • Unsuitable Surfaces: Textured wallpaper, rough plaster, porous materials, dusty or dirty surfaces, silicone-coated surfaces, or flexible materials.
  • Object Thickness: Maximum 10mm for flat objects.

Care:

  • This tape is designed for permanent fixing. Once applied, it is very difficult to remove without damaging the surface or the object. Therefore, plan your placement carefully.
  • Avoid exposing the mounted item to excessive moisture or extreme temperature fluctuations, which could compromise the adhesive bond over time.
