Q What should I use to clean my hands after applying Sylglas Waterproofing Tape?
A Even though we suggest that gloves are worn, if you opt not to wear gloves we would recommend any proprietary hand cleanser.

Q I have recently bought some carbon monoxide detectors but have found their instructions a little confusing, please would you clarify the detection process.
A The detector works such that in the presence of carbon monoxide gas the sensitised spot in the centre will darken & blacken drastically.  During the six-month life of the detectors they will discolour slightly in the presence of cigarette smoke, aerosol sprays and cleaners especially when used in a bathroom or exposed to other heat sources.

Q Where can I buy Sylglas?
A
Your local high street hardware store is the best place to try as they will often order a product if they do not have it it stock.  Please see our availability page for further details.

Q Can Sylglas tapes be overpainted?
A It is possible to overpaint Sylglas Tapes, however, care should be taken as to what sort of paint should be used on each product.  On our products with a lacquered aluminium foil finish an oil based paint should be used, whereas with our petrolatum based products these can be overpainted after it has formed a 'skin', 4-6 weeks depending on condition, with an emulsion paint.  See our guide below:
