Troubleshooting
Pads not sticking well
Ensure the surfaces you are applying the pads to are clean, dry, and free from dust or oils. Press firmly for a few seconds after application.
Difficulty peeling the backing paper
Use a fine-tipped tool, like a craft knife or tweezers, to gently lift an edge of the backing paper before peeling.
Adhesive transfers to unwanted areas
Work carefully and precisely. Use the pads directly onto the element you wish to raise before attaching it to the project. Avoid touching the exposed adhesive.
