- The ambient temperature should be 20 to 30°C. Ensure that the working area is clean. Ideally, the tape application should be done at ambient temperature of 25°C.
- If ambient temperature is less than 15°C, heat the tape and application surface to a temperature of 20 to 30°C. If ambient temperature is 35°C or higher, cool down them. The adhesive property of the tape is deteriorated at low temperature, so the tape may come adrift easily. Meanwhile, it gets softened at hot temperature.
- When beginning to apply the tape, pay particular attention. If the end of the tape cannot be applied to the specified position with an accuracy of less than 1 mm, it may cause the poor appearance or adhesion.
- Use the special tool Stripe Tape Spatula (MB990528) to apply the tape with a steady pace and pressure. If you do not apply the tape with a steady pace or pressure, or abort the application, a shallow groove (lateral groove called as "Shock line") may be present on the tape surface. Meanwhile, if you apply it too quickly, air bubbles may be formed under the tape.
|
Wrap a soft cloth (synthetic fibre) around the tip of the special tool.
2.Use Parts Cleaner (MZ100387 or equivalent) to degrease the tape application surface.
3.Wipe away dirt from the tape.
