FAQs
What kind of adhesives work with these foils?
These foils work best with Stix2 ultra sticky clear tapes & sheets, foam shapes, and foam pads. Other double-sided adhesives can be used, but test them first to ensure compatibility.
How do I store the foil sheets?
Store the foil sheets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve their quality.
Can I use these foils on fabric?
These foils are designed for use on adhesive surfaces like paper, cardstock, and similar materials. They are not recommended for direct application to fabric unless using a specific fabric adhesive.
What is the size of each foil sheet?
Each foil sheet measures 10.5cm x 9cm.
Is the foil reusable?
No, the foil transfers the color to the adhesive surface and cannot be reused once applied. However, a single sheet can often be used for multiple applications if you are working with smaller areas.
What other colors are available?
Silver foil sheets are available in a separate set (S57112).
How do I clean up any mess?
The application process is mess-free, however, if any residue remains it can be removed easily with a soft cloth.
Troubleshooting
Foil is not transferring properly.
Ensure the dull side of the foil is applied to a sticky surface and press firmly. Check that the adhesive is still tacky.
Foil tears or wrinkles during application.
Handle the foil sheets with care and apply them smoothly. Avoid excessive pressure or stretching.
Color transfer is uneven.
Ensure even pressure across the surface during application. Consider using a tool like a bone folder or credit card to get even coverage.
