Other notes:
- Keep our product in original bags/packaging until ready to use
- Yellowing / aging of the nylon after 1-2 years is normal and will not affect performance
- Adhesive backed clips/products should ideally be kept within the range of 15-38 degrees C.
- Nylon is Hygroscopic and will either gain or lose moisture depending upon the environment
