Tape is not sticking well. Rolls up on the edges. What should I do?

It's prob an old roll of tape. I've never had that problem. Just return that tape and buy another pack.

Clean the area before you put the sticker on on. It could be that the area is greasy or dirty. If that doesnt work, try some other tapes that they offer. mine works just fine. I used it on a very glossy computer case, snd it still there. Try put it on good area where youre not gonna touch over and over again. Good luck.

huh, I have never had that problem. I am thinking though that you may have gotten a bad batch or something. How many different times have you used the tape? If only once then I do not know. But if you keep using the same tape and taking it off and putting it back on, it would do that. If its the latter, start over. The tape is just worn out. If it is neither I suggest getting another tape roll and putting it in. That should do it. Good luck!

It comes with a small roll of paper tape but any regular tape should work. I use 2.25" wide.

Did you wipe them with cleaner after the last top coat? If not, that's what you need to do...it will remove the stickiness.

Have you tried putting tape on it (regular clear tape usually works) and peeling it off repeatedly. It sounds wonky, but it works because the bits of gunk stick to the tape.

Clean any surface well with rubbing alcohol prior to applying the 3M tape. That should help.crunchman

Agree that the adhesive tape is a little bit weak but that is what I do improve it. Clean up all edges make sure clean of dirt or residues before final adhesive; apply some heat and leave the Ipad upside down; put some pressure on top, such a book; leave it for awhile.You can always buy additional adhesive set

Redman has it right. It's tough to physically tear through the protective covering on the tape. I've used something with a straight edge after sticking the non-protective side. Then press/mark/score the protective side and you should be able to pull/tear the tape. It's worked before when I've lacked something sharp.

buy a better grade of velcro than is available at WalMart or Target? Clean with rubbing alcohol and let dry before attempting to stick it

Try using a hair dryer and a nail file to gently lift the product from the tape. Acetone or paint thinner will remove the tape residue. Careful is the watchword or you may leave a scratch.

Maybe olive oil...try to pry it away a little and let olive oil drip down on to the tape...I'm saying this because I have removed sticky tape from my fridge using this when nothing else worked..Good Luck !! Let me know if it helped

Yes, I just cleaned the surface really well and then applied the tape. Once applied, I used a small wallpaper seem roller to press it down as I held a hair dryer to the tape.

Use something to smooth it (ex. credit card, ruler, etc..) as you apply it. Maybe only pull a portion of the backing off if what you are applying is large. That will keep it from sticking together.

I just checked the remainder of my roll. If you cut a sharp end off the tape and start with your finger nail at one corner, you should be able to get it off. Mine took only a second.

I applied over tape but it loosened the edges slightly I just applied two coats to edges.

As others said, use two pieces of tape. However, if possible, have a helper help you peel the cover off and do it slowly. The film has a tendency to curl and you may create a crease if you are not careful. Also I found it very beneficial to spray the film as you peel it back so that if it sticks to itself it will not be ruined because it will be wet.

I had two possibilities get it laminated so the paper is protected and then use dbl sided tape or glue the strips that posters are hung with . Going to try the latter F. Griffin

Richard, I'd contact Amazon customer support and ask for a refund or replacement. I barely use my first roll and so far it's been just fine. Hope this helps.
