The Wrights Bondex Iron-On Fluorescent Reflective Tape (Model 100399) is a 2-inch by 32-inch strip featuring a bright fluorescent yellow background with a central reflective gray stripe. It is designed for iron-on application to cloth surfaces, providing both daytime visibility through its fluorescent color and nighttime visibility through its reflective properties. The tape is waterproof, making it suitable for outdoor use.

Setup and Preparation

Required Materials:

• Wrights Bondex Iron-On Fluorescent Reflective Tape
• Iron (household iron, not steam)
• Ironing board or firm, heat-resistant surface
• Press cloth or parchment paper (recommended to protect the tape and iron)
• Scissors
• Fabric item for application (e.g., clothing, bags)

Preparation Steps:

1. Pre-wash Fabric: Ensure the fabric item is clean, dry, and free of any sizing or fabric softeners. Pre-washing is recommended for new garments.
2. Pre-heat Iron: Set your iron to a dry, medium-high heat setting (e.g., cotton/linen setting). Do not use steam.
3. Cut Tape: Measure and cut the reflective tape to the desired length using scissors.
4. Position Tape: Place the tape on the fabric with the reflective side facing up, in the desired position.
5. Remove Backing: Important: Carefully peel off the paper backing from the adhesive side of the tape before ironing.

Operating Instructions (Application)

1. Cover Tape: Place a press cloth or a piece of parchment paper over the reflective tape to protect it and your iron.
2. Apply Heat: Press the hot, dry iron firmly onto the covered tape for approximately 10-15 seconds. Apply even pressure.
3. Repeat: Lift the iron and move it to an adjacent section of the tape, overlapping slightly. Repeat the pressing process until the entire length of the tape has been ironed.
4. Check Adhesion: Carefully lift the press cloth/parchment paper and check if the tape has adhered securely to the fabric. If not, repeat the ironing process, applying more pressure or slightly increasing the heat if necessary. Ensure all edges are firmly attached.
5. Cool Down: Allow the fabric and tape to cool completely before handling or wearing the item.

Note: For best results, avoid excessive heat which can damage the reflective material or adhesive. Test on an inconspicuous area of the fabric if unsure.
