1.
caution
  • The ambient temperature should be 20 to 30°C. Ensure that the working area is clean. Ideally, the tape application should be done at ambient temperature of 25°C.
  • If ambient temperature is less than 15°C, heat the tape and application surface to a temperature of 20 to 30°C. Alternatively, allow it to cool if it is 35°C or more. The adhesive property of the tape is deteriorated at low temperature, so the tape may come adrift easily. Meanwhile, the tape will be softened excessively at high temperature.
  • When beginning to apply the tape, pay particular attention. If the end of the tape cannot be applied to the specified position with an accuracy of less than 1 mm, it may cause the poor appearance or adhesion.
  • When using the special tool stripe tape spatula (MB990528) to apply the tape, be sure to move it steadily, evenly and without interruption. If you fail to do so, a groove (usually known as shock line) may be left on the tape surface. Meanwhile, if you move it too slowly, air bubbles may be left inside the tape. Keep even pressure, constant speed and steady application angle when moving the special tool.
Wrap a soft cloth (synthetic fibre) around the tip of the special tool.
2.Use isopropyl alcohol to degrease the tape application surface.
3.Wipe away dirt from the tape.



4.Apply the tape according to the procedure below.
(1) Position the tape at the locating point.
(2) Peel of the backing paper from the top of the tape and attach it temporarily.
(3) Peel off the backing paper to the half length of the tape.
(4) Apply the tape using the special tool stripe tape spatula (MB990528) while peeling off the remaining backing paper.
