Do I need to prep the surface before applying this tape?

Yes — clean the mounting surface with a degreaser and let it dry completely. Any dirt, dust, or residue will reduce adhesion. A quick wipe with isopropyl alcohol works well on metal or composite surfaces.

Will this tape stick to a painted or textured surface?

Adhesion works best on smooth, clean surfaces. Textured paint or heavy clear coat may reduce bond strength — test a small section first. If your surface is heavily textured, light sanding with fine-grit paper will improve adhesion before application.

Can I cut this roll to custom lengths?

Absolutely. Use a utility knife or sharp scissors to cut the tape to the length you need. The adhesive backing remains effective after cutting — just peel and apply.
