Application Instructions:
Prior to applying the tape, a chalk line may be used as a
Guide Line (Figures 5 and 6).
Applying Tape:
After deciding where tape will be applied, measure
distance from edge of tape to the edge of the
Application Roller. Using this measurement, create a
Chalk Guide Line. This Guide Line will line up with the
edge of the Application Roller when applying Tape.
There are two possible Tape Roll positions for Tape
Application. You can either use the Centered Tape
Position or the Realign Tape to the edge of the Tape
Roll Applicator Position (See Figures 4, 5 and 6).
Note: It is strongly recommended that 3M™ Vinyl Tapes
471, 5700 and 5702 be tested on the actual surface in
an inconspicuous area prior to use to determine
compatibility with flooring.
1. After completing the surface preparation process (see
Surface Preparation instructions), 3M™ Vinyl Tapes
471, 5700 and 5702 can then be applied to the
intended application surface. Optimal adhesion is
obtained when both the tape and intended surface are
within a temperature range of 60º to 80ºF [16º to 27ºC].
2. The 3M™ Lane Marking Applicator M1 is a very
effective and efficient tool for applying long straight
lines and for all but the tightest of curves.
Note: For curved lines, apply the tape slowly around the
arc of the curve (Figure 6).
3. Once the tape has been applied, a weighted roller or
tape wiper is recommended to help fully adhere the
tape to the application surface.
4. Where overlap joints are required, (e.g. corners and
splices) the overlap should be a least 2" [50.8mm]
long (i.e. full width of the tape - Figure 7). For butt
joints, both ends of the tape must be firmly rubbed
down to prevent tape lifting (Figure 8).
5. To prevent long sections of tape lifting where traffic
crosses the tape lines, either bracket (Figure 9) or cut
width-wise every 4 to 6 inches [100 to 150mm]
(Figure 10).
Note: If damage to the tape should occur, the cutting
technique allows for the easy removal and repair of
damaged sections - (Figure 10).
