Using double-sided tape can be a straightforward process, especially when employing efficient techniques for application directly from the roll onto your project.
Applying Double-Sided Tape Directly From the Roll
A practical method for applying double-sided tape involves working directly from the roll onto your workpiece. This technique ensures you get the desired length precisely where you need it before separating the tape from the roll.
Follow these steps for effective application:
- Stick the tape down: Begin by placing the end of the tape directly from the roll onto your workpiece. Adhere the tape along the path or area you wish to secure.
- Peel back the backing: While the tape is still attached to the roll, peel back the protective backing from the section of tape you have just stuck down onto your workpiece.
- Rip just the tape: Once the desired length is applied and the backing is peeled back, rip just the tape itself to separate the applied piece from the roll. This action serves as the "cut" for your tape length.
It is suggested that consistently using this method of sticking the tape down, peeling the backing, and then ripping the tape is an effective way to utilize double-sided tape directly from the roll.
