Troubleshooting

Packers are too thin for the required adjustment

Stack multiple Unifix Flat Packers on top of each other to achieve the necessary height. The flat design allows for stable stacking.

Packers are difficult to insert

Ensure the gap is clear of debris. If resistance is met, try a slight angle or a gentle tapping motion. Avoid excessive force that could damage the packer or the surrounding material.

Packers are not holding the surface level

Verify that the packers are placed on a stable base and are not subject to excessive pressure that could cause them to shift. Ensure surrounding components are securely fastened.
