FAQs
How many stickers are in a pack?
Each pack contains 20 stickers.
What are the dimensions of each sticker?
Each sticker measures 15cm x 15cm.
Can I apply these over existing tile grout lines?
Yes, you can apply them over grout lines. They are designed to cover existing tiles seamlessly. For a very deep grout line, the pattern may slightly follow the contour.
Are these stickers permanent?
They are designed for long-term use but can typically be removed. Removal may require heat (like a hairdryer on a low setting) and care to avoid damaging the underlying surface.
Can I use these in a shower or bathtub surround?
They are waterproof and suitable for areas with occasional splashes, like a bathroom wall. However, they are not designed for constant immersion in water or direct, prolonged water exposure, so direct shower spray should be avoided.
What surfaces should I avoid applying these to?
Avoid applying to porous, unsealed, textured, rough, or uneven surfaces, as adhesion will be poor.
How do I clean the stickers?
Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Stickers are not adhering well.
Ensure the surface is completely clean, dry, and free of any residue (dust, oil, soap). Reapply pressure with a cloth or squeegee. For older surfaces, consider a light sanding and cleaning.
Air bubbles are trapped under the sticker.
Carefully lift the edge of the sticker where the bubble is located and reapply, smoothing from the center outwards. If the bubble is small, you can try to prick it with a fine needle and press flat.
Difficulty cutting the stickers precisely.
Use a sharp craft knife or utility blade and a straight edge or ruler for clean cuts. Work on a cutting mat to protect your surface. Score lightly first, then make a second pass if needed.
Stickers appear to be peeling at the edges.
Ensure the edges of the surface are smooth. Apply firm pressure along the edges. For difficult areas, a tiny amount of strong adhesive (like a vinyl adhesive) can be used sparingly on the edge, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
