How to apply (2–5 minutes)

Do this

  • Brush clean & dry; remove oils and sweat.
  • Round corners and anchor with zero stretch.
  • Use light, even tension on the mid-section.
  • Rub to warm and set adhesive.

Not this

  • Don’t apply over liniment, ointments, or wet coats.
  • Don’t tape over wounds or irritated skin.
  • Don’t over-stretch the tape (causes edge lift).
  • Don’t leave on if irritation occurs—remove gently.

Quick FAQs

Can I bathe or hose with the tape on?

Keep the coat dry for best adhesion. If the tape gets saturated, pat dry—replace if edges lift.

How do I remove it?

Peel slowly in the direction of hair growth. Support the skin with your free hand. Use a small amount of coat-safe detangler if needed.

Can I combine with Draw It Out® liniments?

Yes—just separate the steps. Apply liniment at a different time in your routine so the tape is always placed on a clean, dry, oil-free coat.
