How to remove backing:
If you unravel the Tenacious Tape, you may notice that one end has about a quarter inch of the top-side of the blue backing showing (it should appear as white). It is easiest to remove the tape from that end as you should be able to get a fingernail in between the tape and the backing. If that is not an option, try flicking your thumb in an upward motion on the side of the tape, which typically helps lift the tape from the backing. Last, you can also try tearing a small corner.

Storage & care:
Place unused portion in container or bag and store in cool, dry place.
