FAQs

What is the maximum weight these strips can hold?

The Dekton Geckostix Small strips are designed for small, lightweight items. For best results and to prevent failure, do not exceed a weight of approximately 1-2 pounds (0.5-1 kg) per strip, depending on surface condition. Always test with a lighter item first.

Can I use these on textured walls?

No, these strips are designed for smooth, non-porous surfaces. Using them on textured walls or wallpaper will significantly reduce their adhesion and may damage the surface upon removal.

How do I clean the adhesive if it gets dirty?

Gently rinse the adhesive side with cool water. Do not use soaps, detergents, or solvents. Allow the strip to air dry completely before reapplying.

Are these strips suitable for outdoor use?

These strips are intended for indoor use. Exposure to moisture, temperature fluctuations, and UV rays outdoors can degrade the adhesive and reduce their effectiveness.

How many times can I reuse a single strip?

The number of reuses can vary depending on the surface and the care taken during application and removal. With proper care, they can be reused several times. If adhesion decreases significantly, it is time to replace the strip.

What size items are these best for?

These small strips are ideal for items like keys, lightweight cables, small tools, or very small decorative items and picture frames that do not exceed their weight limit.

Can I use them in a bathroom or kitchen?

Yes, they can be used in bathrooms and kitchens on appropriate surfaces like tiles or smooth painted cabinets, provided the surface is clean and dry. Avoid direct contact with water or steam for prolonged periods.

Troubleshooting

Strips are not holding well.

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. The surface must be smooth and free from dust or grease. Press firmly for the recommended time during application.

Strips leave residue upon removal.

Ensure you are peeling the strip slowly and carefully. If residue remains, try gently warming the strip with a hairdryer on a low setting and then peeling slowly. For stubborn residue, use a mild adhesive remover designed for painted surfaces.

Item falls off the strip.

The item may be too heavy for the small Geckostix. Verify the weight of the item and ensure it is within the product's recommended capacity. Reapply the strip according to instructions on a suitable surface.

Adhesive seems weak after repositioning.

Rinse the adhesive side with clean water and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid touching the adhesive surface during the drying process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or moisture.
  2. Peel the protective backing from one side of the strip.
  3. Firmly press the strip onto the desired location on the wall for at least 30 seconds.
  4. Peel the other protective backing from the strip.
  5. Firmly press the item you wish to hang onto the exposed adhesive side of the strip.

Compatibility:

These strips are best suited for use on smooth, non-porous surfaces such as painted walls, glass, tile, metal, and finished wood. They are not recommended for wallpaper, textured surfaces, unfinished wood, or fabrics.

Care:

To maintain adhesive strength, avoid touching the adhesive surface. If the strip loses adhesion over time or after repositioning, gently rinse the adhesive side with water (do not use soap or solvents) and allow it to air dry completely before reapplying. Store unused strips in their original packaging to protect the adhesive.
