Attention:

Perform work in dust-free areas.

In winter (at low temperatures), warm up the guides and tapes using a hair dryer.

To avoid air bubbles and wrinkles, start gluing the tape from the corner.

If air bubbles form, pierce them with a needle and remove the air with your finger or a rubber roller.

If bubbles larger than 10 mm appear, reapply the tape.
