Tips for Application
- Surface Prep is Key:
Before applying your graphic, make sure the surface is clean, dry, and free of contaminants like dust, grease, and silicone. It is recommended to clean the surface well using isopropyl alcohol and dry thoroughly prior to application. - Apply with Even Pressure:
When applying the Poli-Tape clear application tape, use consistent, even pressure to prevent air bubbles and wrinkles from forming. Using a squeegee or a similar application tool is highly effective for this. - Test First:
It's always a good practice to perform a test application on a small, inconspicuous area. This allows you to check for proper adhesion and compatibility with your specific substrate before you commit to the final graphic. - Use the Right Tape:
Poli-Tape application tapes offer different tack levels. For instance, the PT160 is a low-tack tape, which is ideal for multi-coloured decals or situations where you need a gentle release. Be sure to select the appropriate tack level for your project. - Dry or Wet Application:
Poli-Tape application tapes are versatile and can be used for both dry and wet application methods. - Cutting Assistant:
The square grid print on some Poli-Tape application tape products is not just for looks; it can be used as a handy cutting assistant to help you with precise and accurate work.
Tips for Removal and Storage
- Sharp-Angle Removal:
When you're ready to remove the application tape, peel it back at a sharp angle (close to 180 degrees) and away from the graphic. This technique helps ensure the vinyl stays on the substrate and doesn't lift with the tape. - Proper Storage:
If a wet application is necessary, use the least amount of application fluid required to do the job. - Assist Tape Removal:
To maintain the quality of the tape, store it in a cool, dry place. The text specifically recommends a temperature-controlled environment with a stable temperature around 21°C (about 70°F) and humidity no more than 50%.
