FAQs
Can I use this tape outdoors?
While the adhesive is strong, it is primarily designed for indoor use; extreme weather and high moisture may reduce the lifespan of the adhesive bond.
Will this tape damage my walls upon removal?
While it is more gentle than screws, the high-tack adhesive may pull paint or wallpaper off delicate surfaces. Test in an inconspicuous area first.
Can I paint over the magnetic tape?
It is not recommended to paint over the tape, as the added thickness and surface texture may interfere with the magnetic pull force.
Does it work on textured walls?
No, the adhesive requires a smooth, flat surface to create a proper vacuum seal and maintain its hold.
Is the magnetic force strong enough for curtains?
No, this product is designed for lightweight mosquito nets and screens; curtains are generally too heavy for this adhesive system.
Troubleshooting
Tape is peeling off the surface
Ensure the surface was cleaned with rubbing alcohol and allowed to dry completely before initial application.
Magnetic connection is weak
Ensure you are using the matched 'A' and 'B' strips. If the strips are flipped or reversed, the magnetic polarity may repel instead of attract.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum bond strength, clean the target surface thoroughly with an alcohol-based cleaner to remove dust, grease, or residue. Peel the protective backing from the adhesive side, press firmly onto your surface, and allow the adhesive to cure for at least 24 hours before applying the magnetic load.
Compatibility is highest with smooth, non-porous materials such as finished wood, metal, and rigid plastics. Avoid using on uneven, dusty, or high-texture surfaces, as this will compromise the adhesive integrity. If the tape needs to be removed, it can generally be peeled off by hand, though a citrus-based adhesive remover may be necessary to clear any lingering residue from the application site.
