How to use

Ensure the surface is clean, dry and free of dust or loose particles before applying the tape.

For best results, remove within the recommended time frame for the specific paint system in use.

Usage recommendations

Use this tape on standard interior substrates and avoid prolonged outdoor exposure to prevent adhesive degradation. Test on an inconspicuous area if surface sensitivity is a concern, and store the roll in a cool, dry place to preserve adhesive performance.
