FAQs

How many lights can each clip hold?

Use one clip for every 2 feet (0.6 meters) of lights. They can support up to 12 meters of lights, provided the weight is appropriate.

Can these clips be used on wallpaper?

No, these clips are not recommended for use on wallpaper, as they may cause damage upon removal.

What surfaces are not recommended for use?

Avoid using on wallpaper, brick, textured surfaces, or delicate materials.

How long should I wait before hanging decorations?

Wait one hour after applying the clips to the surface before hanging your decorations to allow the adhesive to set.

What is the weight capacity of each clip?

The weight capacity depends on the decorations and spacing. Adhere to the spacing guidelines (one clip every 2 feet) and ensure the weight is appropriate for the lights or decorations being hung.

Are these clips reusable?

No, the clips are not reusable. Once removed, you will need to replace the adhesive strips with new ones if you wish to reapply them.

Can these clips withstand rain and snow?

Yes, these clips are UV and water-resistant, making them suitable for outdoor use in various weather conditions, including rain and snow, within the specified temperature range.

Troubleshooting

Clips are not sticking to the surface.

Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Make sure you're pressing the clip firmly for 30 seconds. If the surface is too cold or too hot, wait for moderate temperatures. Try a new strip if needed.

Decorations are falling down.

Check the weight of the decorations to ensure they are within the clip's capacity. Make sure the clips are properly spaced (every 2 feet or 0.6 meters) and that the adhesive has had time to set (at least one hour).

Adhesive leaves residue upon removal.

If residue remains, try wiping with rubbing alcohol. Ensure you are stretching the strip slowly and following the removal instructions.

Clips are visible and detracting from the decor.

Ensure you're using the clear clips on the appropriate surfaces. If they are still visible, try positioning them in less conspicuous locations.
