In order to fully utilize the unique characteristics of Buddy Tape, we recommend
that it is stretched gradually as it is applied. Although there is a natural
tendency to stretch the film to fuller size and then simply wrap around, this can
cause the tape to become stringy which can mean that the tape cuts into the
growing plant like standard grafting tapes.
Take a look at our videos to see how rapidly the tape is applied:

Points of Caution:
• STORAGE: Please keep Buddy Tape out of direct sunlight within a
temperature range of 10-30 (In particular, avoid leaving the tape in a hot
car). Lengthy exposure to UV light will begin the degradation process of the
film and could effect its performance.
• WEATHER: Once the tape has been applied it will be resistant to rainy and
windy conditions. However, we recommend avoiding applying Buddy Tape in
the rain as water on the surface could affect the initial adhesion of the tape.
Also note that in temperatures of lower than 15? the elasticity of the film is
reduced.
Do not remove Buddy Tape from its’ protective case before application as
this is necessary for protection from pressure and UV light.
