3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Surface Preparation
Ensure the surface where the tape will be applied is clean, dry, and free from dirt, dust, and oil. Proper surface preparation is crucial for optimal adhesion.
3.2 Application Steps
- Measure and Cut: Determine the required length of tape. A general guideline is to use 2 inches of tape per 1 pound of weight for the item being mounted. Cut the tape to the appropriate lengths.
- Apply to Object: Apply the double-sided adhesive tape to the back of the object you intend to mount. Apply the tape vertically to allow for even distribution of weight. Avoid touching the adhesive surface of the tape to maintain its stickiness.
- Secure Tape: Press firmly on the tape to secure it to the object.
- Remove Liner: Carefully remove the clear protective liner from the exposed side of the tape.
- Position Object: Align the object to its desired placement on the wall or surface.
- Press Firmly: Press the object firmly against the surface for at least 60 seconds. Gorilla Heavy Duty Mounting Tape conforms to the surface and creates a strong, permanent bond.
4. Important Considerations
- Permanent Bond: Once the tape is used to mount an object, it is intended to be held in place permanently and is not designed for easy removal. Attempting to remove it may cause surface damage or leave residue.
- Application Temperature: For best results, apply the tape in temperatures above 50°F (10°C).
- Service Temperature: The tape can withstand continuous temperatures up to 194°F (90°C) and intermittent temperatures up to 302°F (150°C).
- Surface Limitations: Not recommended for use on wallpaper, delicate surfaces, polyethylene and polypropylene plastics, Teflon®, or other non-stick surfaces.
