Installation Instructions
TAPE APPLICATION
-
The surface on which the tape is to be used must be clean, dry and free from grease and dust. Pressure sensitive adhesive must be applied with the maximum possible pressure in order to achieve maximum adhesion levels. The recommended application temperature is between 15ºC and 30ºC.
Store tape in a clean, dry place out of direct sunlight.
Tapes stored below the minimum application temperature will require warming up to that level before use. Up to 24 hours may be required for this to take place.
