12. Tips for Best Results with Shenglong Tape

1. Store in cool, dry place – heat and humidity weaken adhesive.

2. Keep away from sunlight – prevents yellowing.

3. Use scissors for clean cuts – tearing by hand works but may stretch.

4. Clean surface before applying – dust and oil reduce adhesion.

5. Press firmly – use fingernail to burnish (press down) the tape.

6. Don't over-stretch – pull gently to avoid stretching.

7. For gifts – fold end of tape to create a pull tab.
