Application Guidelines For maximum bond strength the surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned with a 50:50
mixture of isopropyl alcohol* and water. Ideal tape application is accomplished
when temperature is between 70°F and 100°F (21°C and 38°C) and the bond is
allowed to dwell 72 hours. Initial tape application to surfaces at temperatures below
50°F (10°C) is not recommended.
*Consult manufacturers directions for use and precautions when using cleaning solvents.
This cleaning recommendation may not be compliant with the rules of certain Air Quality
Management Districts in California; consult applicable rules before use.
Storage Store in original cartons at 70°F (21°C) and 50% relative humidity.
Shelf Life When stored under proper conditions, product retains its performance and properties
for 24 months from date of shipment.
