How to use it
- Make sure the surface is clean, dry and dust-free so the tape sticks properly.
- Apply the tape and press it down firmly as you go.
- Let the tape set for about 30 to 60 minutes before painting.
- Remove it once the paint is dry to the touch: lift the end, pull it slowly back on itself and peel at a 45-degree angle.
