You should seal the tape well with something like a roll of wallpaper or the back of a rub off old spoon.Then do your best to wait 24 hours before applying lateral friction or water.The better you mount it, the longer it will serve its purpose.If it is poorly installed and will slip if you rely on it , it might be worse than not having it at all.
