1. Material Storage The material should be stored in a warm, dry conditions in the original protective packaging to prolong its lifespan 2. Surface Preparation As with all anti-slip products, the surface should be clean and dry. Ideally an IPA cleaner should be used to remove all surface contaminants such as paint flakes. Do not under any circumstances use petrol, lighter fluid or methylated spirits to complete this process because they leave behind a thin, greasy residue. The prepared surface should be above 10°C. 3. Porous Surface Sealing Before application, any porous surfaces should be sealed to prevent water attacking the adhesive. Ideally you should apply Toluene based primers. Apply a thin coat to the clean surface using a paint brush and then leave to dry 4. Tape Application Peel back part of the release liner and then press firmly onto the prepared surface, gradually peeling back the liner as you apply the tape. Make sure that the tape is not too taut. 5. Finish Once the tape has been applied, press the tape down firmly using even pressure (a decorating roller is perfect for this task). The edges should be sealed using the edge fix to extend the lifespan of the product. A small amount should be applied in a thin bead along the edges of the tape and allow to dry. If it has been correctly applied and edge fix has not been used, the new anti-slip surface can be walked on immediately, but you will achieve maximum benefit from the adhesive system after 48 hours.
