Imran, I do the same as Brian. Maybe if ¡°substrate¡± is porous they are recommending that so the ¡°substrate¡± doesn¡¯t suck up some of the pre-applied stick on the tape and weaken the bond. ?

The Starrett Measure-Stix I use are self adhesive and you can stick them to pretty much anything. I usually clean with an alcohol swab right before I stick them down to make sure no oils are present. My cross cut fences clamp the tape measures in place, they are not stuck down¡. but I don¡¯t have the short fence so maybe it¡¯s different.

i got following for the short xcut fence.
even though it is adhesive backed, directions say to use a spray adhesive on the substrate before fixing it. i was not expecting to have to do that. does anyone know if this is necessary?
