How to use

Ensure the surface is clean, dry and free of dust or loose paint before applying the tape. Unroll the tape and press it firmly along the edge you wish to protect, smoothing it down to eliminate air pockets. For long runs, overlap ends slightly and press seams to maintain a continuous barrier. Remove the tape within the manufacturer’s recommended time for clean removal; when removing, pull back slowly at a low angle to reduce the chance of lifting paint.

Usage recommendations

For best results, test the tape on an inconspicuous area if working with delicate or newly painted surfaces. Avoid prolonged outdoor exposure and direct sunlight to prevent adhesive residue. Store the roll in a cool, dry place to maintain performance.
