Product Information
Full details
Ultratape Double Sided Foam Pads are designed for homeowners, office workers, and students looking for a reliable, non-permanent way to mount lightweight items like posters, signs, and hooks. The key benefit is the damage-free application that replaces screws, nails, or liquid adhesives, though users should note these pads are intended for indoor use only and are not suitable for heavy-duty structural weight-bearing tasks.

FAQs
Can I use these pads outdoors?
No, these pads are designed specifically for indoor use and are not weather-resistant.
Will these pads work on brick or rough concrete?
They are designed for smooth to slightly textured surfaces; they will likely not hold securely on rough or porous surfaces like brick.
Can I reuse the pads?
No, the adhesive bond is intended for a single-use application.
How many pads come in a pack?
Each pack contains 40 individual 25mm x 12mm foam pads.
Are these safe for delicate wallpaper?
Use caution, as the adhesive strength may pull wallpaper away upon removal. Test a small, inconspicuous area first.
What is the maximum weight capacity?
These are intended for lightweight items such as paper, card, or small plastic components; avoid using them for heavy decor or glass items.
Troubleshooting
Pad falling off shortly after application
Ensure the surface was cleaned of dust or grease before application and that firm pressure was applied for 30 seconds.
Difficulty removing the adhesive liner
Use the edge of a fingernail or a pair of tweezers to lift the corner of the protective paper liner.
Adhesive leaving residue on removal
Gently rub the remaining adhesive with your thumb or a soft cloth; the friction will cause the adhesive to ball up and peel away.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum bond strength, start by cleaning the mounting surface with isopropyl alcohol to remove dust and grease, then allow it to dry completely. Peel one side of the liner, press the pad firmly onto the item to be hung, then peel the second liner and apply firm, even pressure against the wall for at least 30 seconds. These pads are compatible with most standard painted walls, plastics, metal, and glass. For removal, pull the pad gently at an angle to release the adhesive bond without damaging the substrate.
