How to apply aluminium foil tape?

[Matteo Piantedosi]

Applying Aluminium Foil Tape is pretty straightforward! Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you get it right:

Clean the Surface
Make sure the surface where you want to apply the tape is clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or loose debris. Use a cloth and some rubbing alcohol or a mild cleaner if needed.

Measure and Cut
Measure the length of tape you need. Use scissors or a utility knife to cut the tape to the desired length.

Peel Back the Liner
Most Aluminium Foil Tape have a backing or liner. Peel off a small section to start with — don’t remove it all at once to avoid the tape sticking to unwanted places.

Apply the Tape
Press the sticky side of the tape firmly onto the surface. Start at one end and smooth it down as you go to avoid wrinkles or bubbles.

Smooth It Out
Use a roller or your hand to press the tape firmly, ensuring good adhesion and removing any air bubbles.

Overlap Edges if Needed
If you need to cover a wider area, slightly overlap the edges of multiple tape strips.

Tips:
1. Apply the tape at room temperature for best adhesion.
2. Avoid stretching the tape while applying.
3. Use a roller or flat tool to get the best bond.
