FAQs
How do I make the planets glow brighter and longer?
Expose the planets to a strong light source, such as direct sunlight or a bright lamp, for at least a minute. The longer and brighter the light exposure, the more intense and longer-lasting the glow will be.
Can I rearrange the planets once they are stuck on the wall?
Yes, you can rearrange the planets. Carefully peel the planet and adhesive tab off the surface. You may need to use new adhesive tabs if the original ones lose their stickiness.
What age group is this product suitable for?
This product is generally recommended for children aged 3 years and up. Adult supervision is advised due to small parts.
How many planets are included in the kit?
The kit includes glow-in-the-dark planets representing the solar system, along with adhesive tabs. Specific count may vary by packaging, but typically includes all major planets.
Will the adhesive damage my walls?
The included adhesive is designed for temporary application. However, on delicate surfaces or freshly painted walls, there is a small risk of paint peeling upon removal. Test in an inconspicuous area first if concerned.
Can these be used outdoors?
These are designed for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor elements may affect their glow properties and adhesive.
Troubleshooting
Planets are not glowing
Ensure planets have been exposed to a bright light source for at least one minute. Try a stronger or longer light exposure. Check that the room is completely dark to observe the glow.
Adhesive tabs are not sticking well
Ensure the wall or ceiling surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Press the planet firmly onto the adhesive tab and then onto the surface for at least 30 seconds. Avoid applying to textured or porous surfaces.
Glow fades quickly
The duration of the glow depends on the intensity and length of light exposure. Try exposing the planets to direct sunlight or a very bright lamp for a longer period.
