1. How many times can I reuse Exac-Tac?
Even with normal dust and dirt, you can reuse Exac-Tac 10-12 times.

2. Can I fold Exac-Tac to itself?
YES! When the tack touches itself, it's easy to pull Exac-Tac back apart! When taking Exac-Tac out to the field or around shops, fold Exac-Tac onto itself, but do not leave for extended periods of time. When you get back to the shop, unfold Exac-Tac and store as described below.

3. How do I store Exac-Tac?
On any clean surface. We recommend PVC foam board or the release paper that your vinyl comes on. These are easy to obtain and usually around your shop.

4. Can I use Exac-Tac on wet applications?
YES. All you need is tap water and a drop of dishwashing liquid. Lightly spray your surface with the water and apply as normal. Do NOT use application fluids with Exac-Tac because the chemicals will eat away the adhesive on Exac-Tac and ruin it.

5. Does Exac-Tac have static?
NO! Exac-Tac has very little, if any, static. To de-staticize Exac-Tac, simply hold each end of Exac-Tac with both hands and touch your work surface with any part of your body (elbow, etc).

6. What does "Forgiving" mean?
Exac-Tac will not be destroyed if you accidentally touch the tack to itself or to a piece of paper. Exac-Tac is pressure sensitive and will pick up only the graphics you put pressure onto by squeegeeing the vinyl down. Exac-Tac also allows you to change the placement before squeegeeing your graphics to a substrate: when placing your vinyl, you can "snatch" the graphics up if you haven't squeegeed them down. Plus, you can
overlap pieces of Exac-Tac to make larger sizes of transfer tape, and because Exac-Tac is a vinyl, it will give and you won't have to worry about creases, like you do with paper tape.

7. Why does Exac-Tac have a backing paper?
So Exac-Tac can be used on a plotter. Spray the backing paper with adhesive, like Spray Mount and apply to plotter paper or use a friction feed plotter.

8. How do I save money by using Exac-Tac?
If you use Exac-Tac three times, it has paid for itself. Any uses beyond that saves you money and will lower your transfer tape cost dramatically. You will get about 10-15 uses out of each piece of Exac-Tac. You will also save time and motion by not having to get a new piece of tape for every transfer.

9. Does Exac-Tac curl when you pull it off the roll?
No. Exac-Tac lays flat once off the paper backing.

10. In what temperature should Exac-Tac be stored?
The recommended storage temperatures are from 40-105 degrees Fahrenheit. If you leave Exac-Tac in an enclosed area during hot temperatures, such as a car in summer, the adhesive will become more adherent. The normal warehouse will not have an effect on Exac-Tac. The shelf life of Exac-Tac is two years -- MUCH longer than it will be on your shelf!

11. What sizes of Exac-Tac do I need to buy?
Exac-Tac comes in 54" x 100' logs, and we cut the logs to any size you specify, and remember, you can "build" sizes, making a 10" out of a 6" and 4", without worrying about creases. And when through with that application, you can pull the pieces back apart and reuse separately. This will cut down on the sizes you have to stock.

12. What are handles?
Handles make Exac-Tac easier to use. We recommend folding a small part of each end of Exac-Tac to itself. On banner applications, we recommend using pieces of PVC pipe. This makes Exac-Tac easier to "handle".

13. Can you use Exac-Tac as a stencil?
YES! Exac-Tac can be run through a plotter (#7 above) and used as a stencil.

14. Can you use Exac-Tac as a paint mask?
Yes! Exac-Tac works great as a paint mask.

15. How clear is Exac-Tac, really?
PERFECTLY CLEAR! See for yourself!

16. Exac-Tac can be used as a substrate?
You bet! It's a great substrate for thermal printers and resin-based ink. Imagine a reusable, repositionable storefront or backlit sign (try our white vinyl substrate Exac-Tac made specifically for this purpose). You can also apply vinyl graphics to the non-adhesive side of Exac-Tac for quick effective signs.
