The 20 mm width and 1 m length provide a practical size for small repairs, upholstery and craft projects.

How to use

Clean and dry the hard surface before applying the self-adhesive hook tape.

To remove, peel the two parts apart and reattach as needed.

Recommendations

For best adhesion, apply the self-adhesive hook tape at room temperature onto clean, grease-free and dry surfaces. Avoid application to delicate or painted surfaces without testing first. When used on outdoor furniture or in humid environments, check adhesion periodically and consider additional mechanical fixing if required.
