How to Use It
-
Surface Prep
Ensure both surfaces are flat, dry, and clean. Remove dirt, dust, oil — using isopropyl alcohol does the trick. -
Apply Tape
Apply tape to the back of the object vertically for even weight distribution. Avoid touching the adhesive. -
Set & Mount
Remove the clear liner, position the object, press firmly into place. Hold for about 60 seconds to help the adhesive conform and bond. -
Pro Tips
-
Use about 4 inches of tape per pound of weight.
-
For easy liner removal: pinch and gently stretch a corner until it lifts.
-
Best results when both surfaces are fully in contact.

Q&A
| Common Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Will it yellow over time? | No — the adhesive is crystal clear and engineered not to yellow. |
| Can it hold heavy objects? | Yes — but weight capacity depends on how much tape you use and how good the surface contact is. Use 4″ per pound of weight as a guideline. |
| Is it food safe? | No — it’s not recommended for direct or indirect food contact. |
| Will it work on PVC, vinyl, or rubber? | It works on many plastics, but not on certain types like PE or PP, or plastics/rubbers with high oil content. Always test first. |
