Using the K - Tuned Premium White Clean Cut Tape is easy. First, measure where you need to cut the hose. Then, take the clear tape and wrap it over 2 inches of the hose on both sides of the cutting spot. Next, use the white tape to cover 1 inch on either side of the cut. This helps in making a clean cut. When using hose - cutting shears, make sure to cut steadily and firmly. As for maintenance, keep the tape in a cool and dry place to prevent it from losing its stickiness. Also, always check the tape for any signs of damage before use. And remember, use the right - sized tape for your hose to get the best results.
