Full details
JEJE Foam Dots are ideal for crafters, DIY enthusiasts, and anyone needing a strong, discreet adhesive solution for lightweight items. Their primary benefit is providing a secure, double-sided bond that adds a slight dimension. A potential consideration is their small size, requiring careful handling for precise placement. These black foam dots measure 5 mm x 5 mm x 2 mm and offer a reliable way to attach elements without visible adhesive.

Compatibility:
These foam dots are best suited for use with smooth, non-porous surfaces such as paper, cardstock, thin plastic, finished wood, and metal. They are not recommended for use on fabrics, rough textures, or surfaces that are excessively flexible or may be exposed to high heat or moisture.
Care:
Store unused foam dots in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain adhesive quality. Avoid touching the adhesive surfaces with bare fingers, as oils can reduce their stickiness.
