    Air bubbles in stripes
    « on: October 29, 2009 - 08:33:53 PM »
    Hello! Is there any way to remove air bubbles in tape stripe with out putting a pin hole in them? They are pretty small. :pullinghair:

    Thanks!

    Have you tried just a little heat to them an move the bubbles out from under the stripe?  Try a hair dryer on low heat to smooth them out.   :2cents: :bigsmile:

    Hopefully it is a little warm where you are. If so, give it a few days. Maybe it will work itself out. If not, then I think you might have to resort to the pin hole method.   :dunno:

    A day in the sun should take them out.  Otherwise, you will probably have to resort to the pin hole.

    I always use a razor blade. You can cut a small slit, then it heals itself.  Just don't try to force the air out without cutting some hole, that will just stretch it.
