Materials Needed

• EXITEX Extra Wide Self Adhesive Draught Excluder Weather Foam Tape (10mm x 5m – Brown)
• Scissors or a sharp knife
• Measuring tape
• Cleaning cloth
• Ruler or straight edge

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Measure the Area

• Use a measuring tape to determine the length of the gaps you want to seal.
• Ensure you measure accurately to avoid any wastage of the tape.

Step 2: Prepare the Surface

• Clean the surface where you will apply the tape using a cleaning cloth.
• Ensure the surface is dry and free from dust, dirt, and grease for optimal adhesion.

Step 3: Cut the Tape

• Using the measurements taken, cut the foam tape to the required lengths using scissors or a sharp knife.
• Use a ruler or straight edge to help guide your cuts for straight, even edges.

Step 4: Apply the Tape

• Peel off a small section of the adhesive backing from the tape.
• Align the tape with the area to be sealed and press it firmly into place.
• Gradually peel off the backing as you press the tape onto the surface, ensuring it adheres evenly throughout.
• Smooth out any bubbles or wrinkles as you go.

Step 5: Final Check

• Inspect the tape to ensure it is properly adhered to the surface without any gaps.
• Make any necessary adjustments to ensure a tight seal.

Tips

• For best results, apply the tape in temperatures above 10°C (50°F).
• Ensure the tape is not stretched during application, as it may shrink back over time.
• Store any unused tape in a cool, dry place for future use.
