Acti-Tape - Preparing the Tapes - Step by Step Instructions

1.

❒ Basic Cutting Technique

• In order to protect the tape from damage, the box is made especially strong and has been designed so that you can dispense the tape directly from the box.

• When preparing strips for use, corners MUST be rounded off to avoid the strips catching, lifting and therefore peeling off. 

2. 

❒ Basic Tearing Technique

•  To expose the adhesive to apply a strip it is easy to stretch and twist to tear the backing paper.

 3.

❒ Basic Peel Off Technique

• When preparing to apply the strips, it is necessary to expose the tap. The easiest way to do so is using your index finger to peel the tape off the backing paper. Not the paper from the tape.

❒ Basic Stretch Technique - Pointing Finger

• Spread the pressure evenly across the width of the tape
  avoiding any contact with the adhesive.
