APPLICATION

Optimum performance will be achieved when applied to clean dry, dust and grease free surfaces.  After cleaning the bottom of the loop, using a good grade lacquer thinner, Acetone, or 1,1,1, Trichlorethane, The tape should be applied firmly to that surface. Once a good bond has been formed between the loop and the mastic, the release paper may be removed.  Turn the loop right side up and place in the desired location.  Tread on the entire loop applying as much down-ward pressure as possible to bond the loop to the roadway.

Apply at temperatures above +4° C. / 39° F   To improve bonding at these lower temperatures a heat gun may be used to heat the pavement and dissipate any moisture that may be present.
