# Application Tape Removal

When removing application tape from lettering where there is a need to make the tape remove easier from the graphic or substrate – spray a light mist of application fluid over the application tape. Let dwell for 20 to 30 seconds and begin peeling back at about a 45° angle from the line of the text and as close to the work table or sign surface as possible.

**Cautionary Note:** Don’t wait too long before removal of paper after wetting or delamination of adhesive coating from application tape may occur.
