1. Surface

- The surface should be dry, free from fat, oil and dust. If necessary,clean the surface
   well by using a clean rag and an appropriate etergent.
- A porous surface, such as plaster or colour that is crumbling off needs to be
   pretreated in an appropriate manner.

2. Temperature

Foils and tapes should be applied at average room temperature (not less than the
minimum temperature recommended).

3. Applying the Tape

- Do not touch adhesive side of the tape. After the tape has been applied, press it
   to the surface again. When using double-sided tapes, remove the protective paper
   carefully.
- Take the surface quality into consideration, on a rough surface a tape usually has an
   inferior adhesive strength.
- Test the adhesion on the tape before applying it to the surface of your choice. Leave
   the tape on the test surface for quite a while (over night, if possible). The tape
   should leave no residues when being removed by jerks after a while. Adhesions
   tests should be always made on inconspicuous places.

4. Removing the Tape

- Remove the tape slowly, not by jerks.
- Please observe minimum temperatures and recommended time of longest possible
   adhesion.
- Do not leave the tape to stick on the surface longer than necessary.
- When using the tape outdoors, please take the weather into consideration.

5. Storage

- Tapes should be stored in original packing not longer than six months at a room
   temperature and recommended temperature (20 °C) and a relative atmospheric
