ISC X-Flex Crash Repair Racers Tape: 11 in. x 15 in. (Red)

ISC X-Flex Crash Repair Racers Tape is a large sheet of crash repair tape designed for that quick racing repair to get your car back on the track after an accident. Unlike other body repair patches, X-Flex is reinforced with a layer of aluminum, making it very durable and strong. This tape is widely used in the Sprint Cup, Nationwide, and Camping World Truck series races. X-Flex Racers Tape has a highly aggressive butyl rubber adhesive that will adhere to any clean surface. X-Flex comes in either 11-inch x 15-inch patches for short track or in 11-inch x 30-inch patches for NASCAR. Available colors are black, white, blue, yellow and red.

Please note since X-Flex is paint applied to a reinforced aluminum backing you will sometimes see areas of the silver aluminum underneath the paint. These patches are designed for short-term patch repair however and during that time should still look aesthetically pleasing. Also, the wide width aluminum/butyl rubber combo is extremely difficult to work with and causes wrinkles and gaps in the release liner when the liner is put back on to the tape after the aluminum backing is painted, but it should not affect the performance of the product.

Please note this tape works best when heated up. If applying in the winter or colder weather please apply some heat or leave out in sun before application. ISC recommends a heat gun or hair dryer to warm up the butyl rubber adhesive. Country of Origin: United States.

For best results, it needs to be warm when applied. If it is below say 60 degrees Fahrenheit it is best to heat it the tape up with a heat gun/hairdryer before applying. The warmer it is out the better. In cold temperatures, the tape is stiff and does not have much adhesion. But when warmed up it is super sticky. Also like all tapes, the surface must be clean of dirt/grease/oil, etc.
