4. Installation Technique
The tape shall be applied in half-lapped layers
with sufficient tension to conform and produce a
uniform covering. In most applications, this
tension will reduce the tape’s width to 5/8 of its
original width.
Apply the tape with no tension on the last
wrap to prevent flagging.
