FAQs
What is the shelf life of the tape?
The shelf life is typically 12-24 months when stored in a cool, dry place.
Can I reuse the tape?
No, the tape is designed for a single-use application and is not reusable.
Is the tape waterproof?
The tape is water-resistant. However, avoid direct, prolonged exposure to water soon after application.
What temperature range can the tape withstand?
The tape performs well in a wide range of temperatures, but extreme heat or cold can affect its adhesion. Ensure application and use are within recommended temperature ranges.
How do I remove the tape if needed?
Removing the tape can be difficult and may potentially damage the paint. Use a heat gun or hair dryer to warm the tape, making it easier to peel off. Use a plastic scraper to gently remove any remaining adhesive residue. Use a solvent to remove any adhesive residue, being careful not to damage the paint.
Can I paint over the tape?
No, the tape is not designed to be painted over. Painting over the tape may affect its adhesive properties.
What surfaces is this tape not suitable for?
The tape may not be suitable for extremely uneven, porous, or heavily textured surfaces. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and dry before application. Use a stronger cleaner if necessary. Also, ensure you are pressing firmly and evenly along the entire length of the trim during application. If the surface is rough, consider using an adhesive promoter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Surface Preparation: Clean the surface thoroughly. Remove any dirt, grease, wax, or loose particles using a suitable cleaner. Ensure the surface is dry before applying the tape.
- Application: Cut the required length of tape. Peel off one side of the protective liner and apply the tape to the trim piece. Then, peel off the other liner and carefully position the trim onto the vehicle's body. Press firmly along the entire length of the trim to ensure a secure bond.
- Compatibility: Auto Bar B621 is compatible with most automotive surfaces, including painted metal, plastic, and composite materials. However, always test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility and adhesion.
- Care: Avoid washing the vehicle or exposing the taped area to excessive moisture for at least 24 hours after application to allow the adhesive to fully cure. Check the bond periodically, especially after extreme weather conditions.
