1. Check the surface.

Before applying the foil flashing tape, make sure that the surface is clean and dry. Any dirt or debris on the surface can prevent the tape from sticking properly. Use a clean cloth or brush to remove any dirt or dust before proceeding.

2. Measure and cut.

Measure the area where you will be applying the foil flashing tape and cut the tape to the appropriate size. It's important to cut the tape slightly larger than the area you are covering to ensure a proper seal.

3. Peel and stick.

Peel off the backing from the foil flashing tape to expose the adhesive side. Carefully place the tape onto the surface, making sure to smooth out any air bubbles or wrinkles as you go. Press down firmly to ensure a strong bond.

4. Seal the edges.

To ensure a watertight seal, make sure to properly seal the edges of the foil flashing tape. Use a roller or your fingers to press down on the edges and ensure that they are securely in place.

5. Inspect and test.

Once you have applied the foil flashing tape, inspect the area to ensure that it is properly sealed. You can also perform a water test by spraying water onto the taped area to check for any leaks. If you notice any leaks, you may need to apply additional tape to reinforce the seal.

6. Clean up.

After you have finished applying the foil flashing tape, clean up any excess adhesive or debris from the area. This will help to ensure a clean and professional finish.

By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your foil flashing tape is applied correctly and effectively.
