Product Description
FindTape Flower / Bouquet Stem Wrapping Tape is the perfect finishing touch for corsages, wedding bouquet stems, floral novelties, and silk or dried flowers. It is the original self-sealing stem wrap with a wax-based adhesive that does not activate until the tape is stretched, at which point it bonds tightly to itself.
The excellent stretch means you use less tape per stem, and the superior self-adhesion means it sticks to itself rather than to your fingers as you pull and wrap. It is colorfast and will not bleed when damp flowers are assembled. Its delicate texture and smooth surface give it the appearance of natural foliage for a clean, professional finish.
Features & Benefits
- Finishes corsages, wedding bouquet stems, boutonnieres, floral novelties, and silk or dried flower arrangements
- Wax adhesive activates only when stretched, so the roll stays clean and easy to handle
- High stretch means less tape used per stem and less waste
- Bonds to itself instead of to your fingers for fast, mess-free wrapping
- Colorfast green finish will not bleed onto damp stems or ribbon
- Smooth, paper-like surface blends with natural foliage
Common Uses
- Wrapping wired stems for corsages, boutonnieres, and wrist corsages
- Binding stems together in hand-tied bridal bouquets
- Concealing wires, picks, and mechanics on silk and dried arrangements
- Building floral crowns, hair pieces, and floral garlands
- Securing water tubes and floral picks in centerpieces
Application Instructions
- Cut or tear a length of tape from the roll. The adhesive is not active until you stretch the tape, so the roll will not feel sticky.
- Hold the end of the tape against the top of the stem or wire, just below the flower head, and pinch it in place with your thumb.
- Gently stretch the tape between your fingers. Stretching warms the wax adhesive and activates the bond.
- Wrap the stretched tape around the stem at a slight downward angle, overlapping each turn by about half the tape width as you spiral down.
- Keep light tension on the tape so it continues to bond to itself with each wrap. The tape will not stick to your fingers.
- Continue wrapping until the entire stem or wire is covered. To finish, stretch the final inch firmly and press it against the wrap so it self-seals.
- To join multiple stems into a bundle, hold them together and wrap from the top of the bundle down to the cut ends in the same stretch-and-spiral motion.
- Tear the tape by hand or trim with scissors. Smooth the tail with your fingertips to seal.
Tip: Warm hands help activate the adhesive faster. If the tape feels stiff, rub it briefly between your fingers before wrapping.
* Multiple cases may be shipped per package in order to minimize the charge for shipping.

Question & Answers
User Reviews
hot melt rubber (synthetic)
Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
natural rubber
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
acrylic
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
silicone
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
zinc oxide
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Thickness, AKA caliper or gauge, refers to the distance from one surface of a tape backing, or adhesive, to the other.
1 mil = 1/1000 of an inch
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils
Lower gauge gloves are heavier - have thicker construction, fewer stiches knitted per inch and offer less dexterity.
Higher gauge gloves are lighter - have thinner/finer construction, more stitches knitted per inch and offer more dexterity.
Gloves offered typically runs from 7 to 18 (12 and 13 are in the middle of the scale).
