Apply this tape directly from the reel onto one surface and press sufficiently along its length to achieve good initial adhesion. Then remove the backing paper, offer another surface to the sealant and push firmly to seal across the joint.
Surface preparation is paramount for achieving the required bond when using this pressure-sensitive adhesive. Read our Surface Preparation and Application Guide for more information.
