HOOK AND LOOP TAPE INSTRUCTION MANUAL
You can print this instruction manual for a quick reference. We promise that this will be a quick but informative read! For questions, inquiries, and concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Clean the surfaces where you would be installing the tapes. Lint, dirt, and dust can significantly lessen the bonding strength of adhesives. If applicable, you can clean the surfaces with an alcohol or soapy water solution.
2) Peel the tape from the roll. Cut the desired amount of tape.
3) Position and apply the hook and loop tape strips on their respective surface.
4) Squeegee any air bubbles or gaps that may exist between the surface and the tape. Gaps may cause the adhesive to weaken over time. You can use an old and unused credit card, a roller, or your palm to squeegee any excess air.
5) If needed, the hook and loop strips can be sewn in the surface. It has a high stress capacity so you can sew it without damaging the tape.
6) Apply more strips by repeating steps 2-5.
PRESSURE SENSITIVITY
If you are installing the hook and loop tape on hard surfaces, then apply as much pressure as you can to maximize the bonding strength. However, if you are using it on softer surfaces, go gentle in pressing the tape for a temporary application. IMPORTANT: Remember to check whether you have received a hook and a loop tape pair. These tapes come in pairs. The indicated length on the info is the length of each roll.

INCREASING THE BONDING STRENGTH
1) You can increase the bonding strength of the Hook and Loop Tape by pressing it to the surface. Make sure to press it firmly through your hands or palm. Squeegee any air bubbles or gaps that may exist between the surface and the tape.
2) If you have a hair dryer or a heat gun, you can also heat the adhesive using warm air exhaust.
Heating the adhesive upon installation will temper it and further increase the adhesive’s strength.
3) You can strengthen the bond by increasing the surface area of application. This can be done by
applying more tape on the object. Make sure that the surface is free from dust and dirt.
ADHESIVE REMOVAL
On rare cases, the adhesive can stick into objects such as the edge of a scissor. The adhesive can be easily removed by either of the following steps:
1) Partially melting the adhesive using the warm air exhaust of a hair dryer. After partially melting
the adhesive, then you can simply wipe off the adhesive residue.
2) Wiping the surface with a warm water with soap and white vinegar solution. You can also use a soft brush to remove the adhesive faster. You can also mix in some baking soda to the solution.
3) Applying Goo Gone solution, lighter fluid, or kerosene on the surface. The residue can easily be removed and wiped clean through this process
DISCLAIMER
Adhesives may react differently to various surfaces and may be incompatible to unique materials. Therefore, it is recommended to try out
