If the adhesive surfaces of the silicone tape contact each other, they will adhere together and separating them will degrade the adhesive
qualities of the tape. Thus, do not remove the tape backing until ready to apply.
^
Prevent oil, dust etc. from contaminating the adhesive surface of the tape.
i.
Remove the backing from the prepared piece of silicone tape and apply approximately 20 mm (0.79 in.) from the end of the sleeve wrapping
the tape around the wire three or more times while stretching the tape.
