Double sided cloth tape: what do I need to know?

When working with cloth double sided tape, there are a few things to keep in mind.

Store the tape in a cool, dry environment

It is important to store double sided cloth tape properly. Store this tape in a cool, dry environment so that it maintains adhesive integrity.

Prepare the surface properly

Even though some double sided cloth tapes are resistant to moisture and mildew, the tapes will perform better if you prepare surfaces by cleaning and drying them. This improves the level of adhesion and will reduce the likelihood of tape failure. 

Be mindful of the tape’s purpose

Double sided cloth tapes offer strong adhesion, but remember that they are best suited for temporary bonding, and should not be considered a permanent solution.
