ALWAYS REMEMBER TO BRING BACK BATCH NUMBERS WHERE THERE ARE ISSUES

 Inside each core of Scapa mounting tape there is a sticker with the batch number of the roll.
 Without the batch number there is very little we can do lodge a complaint or claim with Scapa.
 Always bring back batch numbers if you want help
