CAUTION

• The ambient temperature should be 20 to 

30

° C. Ensure that the working area is clean. 

Ideally, the tape application should be done at 
ambient temperature of 25

° C.

• If ambient temperature is less than 15° C, heat 

the tape and application surface to a tempera-
ture of 20 to 30

° C. If ambient temperature is 

35

° C or higher, cool down them. The adhe-

sive property of the tape is deteriorated at low 
temperature, so the tape may come adrift eas-
ily. Meanwhile, it gets softened at hot temper-
ature.

• When beginning to apply the tape, pay partic-

ular attention. If the end of the tape cannot be 
applied to the specified position with an accu-
racy of less than 1 mm, it may cause the poor 
appearance or adhesion.

(MB990528) to apply the tape with a steady 
pace and pressure. If you do not apply the 
tape with a steady pace or pressure, or abort 
the application, a shallow groove (lateral 
groove called as "Shock line") may be 
present on the tape surface. Meanwhile, if you 
apply it too quickly, air bubbles may be 
formed under the tape.

1. Wrap a soft cloth (synthetic fibre) around the tip of 

the special tool.

2. Use isopropyl alcohol to degrease the tape 

application surface.
