⚠️ Storage, Handling & Safety — Important
- Always wear gloves when handling. This product contains polyurethane resin that can irritate skin on contact. Nitrile or latex gloves are recommended.
- Do not open the package until you are ready to apply. Once opened, the polyurethane resin begins to activate upon contact with moisture in the air (humidity) or water. The tape will harden and cannot be reversed once activated.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity.
- Keep the roll sealed in original packaging until the moment of use.
💬 Frequently Asked Questions
Is fiberglass casting tape waterproof?
Yes — the tape itself is waterproof once cured. However, standard cast padding and stockinette are not. For a fully waterproof cast, use waterproof padding and liner.
Can I use this for non-medical applications?
Yes. TECHFORM is used by artists, hobbyists, and educators for sculpting, prop-making, and body casting.
How do I remove fiberglass tape from skin?
Use acetone-based nail polish remover on the affected area to dissolve residue.
