How to Use Double-Sided Tape

1. Select the Appropriate Tape

Choose a double-sided tape suitable for your materials and the weight of the items you're bonding. Also consider the width of the tape. Wider tapes are better for larger surface areas.

2. Prepare the Surfaces

Ensure both surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt or grease. Wipe them with a clean, dry cloth and let them air dry completely for optimal adhesion.

3. Measure and Cut the Tape

Determine the length of tape needed and cut it accordingly. Avoid touching the adhesive to maintain its stickiness.

4. Apply the Tape

Press the tape firmly onto the first surface. For best results, smooth it down with your fingers or a roller to ensure full contact without air bubbles.

5. Remove the Backing

Carefully peel off the protective liner to expose the adhesive on the other side.

6. Join the Surfaces

Align the second surface carefully with the first and press them together firmly. Apply even pressure for a few seconds to secure the bond.

Additional Tips

• Alternative Uses: Double-sided tape can replace screws for certain applications, preventing surface damage. It's also useful for temporarily positioning items before permanent installation.
• Removal: To remove double-sided tape, gently peel it off. If residue remains, use a hairdryer to soften the adhesive or apply rubbing alcohol to dissolve it. Always test solvents on a small area first to avoid damage.
