TAMLYN WINDOWTAPE
ADVANTAGES: · Self-seals around nails, staples, etc · Waterproofs, stops water leaks around windows and doors · Adheres to most clean and dry surfaces instantly—far surpasses industry standards · If the building moves slightly, Tamlyn WindowTape will stretch and not tear · Reduces outdoor noise and air infiltration · Very aggressive adhesion - no nailing required! No peeling off, no flapping in the wind, no pulling off easily by hand like other brands · Use roller to apply · Designed for professionals · Try it, you won't go back to anything else
NOTE: James Hardie® warns against the use of aluminized surface flashing tape because the aluminum adversely reacts to the fiber cement. Tamlyn WindowTape is made with a polyethylene film facing and does not adversely react to fiber cement. Contact your James Hardie® representative for recommendations on WindowTape used in contact with their siding products
STORAGE: Clean and dry inside storage is preferable. If you are installing in cool weather, store material inside at room temperature for 24 hours prior to installation. Keeping the roll warm will improve the adhesiveness of the material when you install it
LIMITATIONS: Tamlyn WindowTape can be applied to vinyl windows, which have rigid fins. However, Tamlyn WindowTape should not be applied to flexible vinyl films or surfaces. This material is not compatible with EDPM materials. At cold temperatures, 45° F. or lower, this material will lose a portion of its adhesiveness. Test for adhesion at the start of the job to see if there is sufficient adhesion. If not, follow instructions under storage, and wait until warmer temperatures. Use of a heat gun or liquid adhesive can also improve adhesion at lower temperatures. This material may also be mechanically fastened using nails, screws, or staples if conditions make adhesion difficult. Do not expose material to sunlight for over 60 days. Do not use on roof surfaces, or anywhere that this material might be walked on. The material has a slippery surface

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE |
|
The installation sequence outlined is very important. All edges must be shingle lapped to prevent entry of water. Highly recommend using a hard roller on all taped seams. |
|
1. Make sure the surface is clean, dust free, smooth, and dry. (Note: Do not apply over silicone caulk or other solvent based products.) 2. Test Tamlyn WindowTape adhesion to sheathing. Some sheathing boards contain components which reduce tape adhesion. If adhesion is inadequate, prime with Polybond™ Liquid Adhesive. If Polybond™ is not available, 3M Company #77 Spray Adhesive may be used. 3. Cut desired length from the roll with utility knife or scissors. 4. Install on wood sill. Smooth and roll in place. |
|
1. Set window per window manufacturer's installation instructions. 2. Use appropriate size and gauge nail per window manufacturer's instructions. |

1. Cut desired length from the roll with utility knife or scissors. 2. Install Tamlyn WindowTape to on the bottom flange extending 1/2” the length of the roll width beyond the window flange. Smooth then roll the Tamlyn WindowTape into place. (Ex: A 6” roll needs to have the Tamlyn WindowTape extend 3” beyond the window flange) 3. Measure Tamlyn WindowTape and cut needed length for the vertical flanges. Again the product must be 1/2” the length of the roll width past the bottom of the Tamlyn WindowTape applied on the bottom flange. Smooth then roll Tamlyn Tamlyn WindowTape into place. (Ex: 6” Roll needs to have the Tamlyn WindowTape extend 3” beyond the Tamlyn WindowTape on the bottom flange Tamlyn WindowTape already applied. |

If you’re having difficulty with the release liner getting started, then take an edge of the Tamlyn WindowTape in each hand and rapidly move your hands in opposite directions. This will break the bond between the release film and the rubberized asphalt and will allow for ease of pulling the release film |
