Installation Technique
The tape shall be applied in half-lapped layers with sufficient tension to conform and produce a uniform covering. In most applications, this tension will reduce the tape’s width to 3/4 of its original width. Apply the tape with no tension on the last wrap to prevent flagging.
Shelf Life
1710 Tape has a five year shelf life (from date of manufacture) when stored under the following recommended storage conditions. Store behind present stock in a clean, dry place at a temperature of 70ºF (21ºC) at 40-50% relative humidity. Good stock rotation is recommended.
