Preservation Tape is a 10-mil, waterproof tape that contains UV inhibitors for long term storage and leaves minimal adhesive residue. Preservation Tape is most commonly used for transportation covers where the cover needs to be taped directly to the object. Please note: although preservation tape is designed not to leave a residue, the adhesion is very strong to most surfaces and it is possible that the top layer of paint or finish can come off of painted surfaces or wood. Please test a small area before applying to entire surface.
