The first step in repairing or sealing with the tape is to thoroughly clean the surface to be sealed. This is preferably done with a brush.
Before laying the Instaband, the surface must be preheated so that the tape becomes more flexible and sticks where you want it.
When the surface is warm the Instaband is rolled out on to the road surface, beaded side up. The beads create friction to minimize slipping.
When the Instaband is applied, it is time to melt it into the crack or joint you want to seal.
