Product Information
Full details
The eufyMake UV Adhesion Promoter Prep Pads are designed for DIYers and professional crafters who need to print on metallic surfaces using UV ink systems. These pads ensure a permanent, high-quality bond that prevents common issues like flaking or peeling. While highly effective at creating a durable, scratch-resistant surface, users should note that the chemical nature of the pads requires careful handling and application in a well-ventilated area to ensure safety and consistent results.

FAQs
Can I use these pads on plastic or wood?
These pads are specifically formulated for metal surfaces and are not recommended for plastic or wood.
How long do I wait after wiping the surface before printing?
The formula is fast-drying; you can typically begin printing within a few minutes after application.
Do I need to prime the metal with anything else?
No, a thorough cleaning with isopropyl alcohol followed by the eufyMake prep pad is usually sufficient.
Are the pads reusable?
No, each 1g pad is designed for a single application to ensure potency and hygiene.
Will this leave a visible residue on the metal?
When applied correctly, the promoter dries to a clear, invisible finish that does not affect the look of the metal.
Can these be used for outdoor signs?
Yes, the formula is specifically designed to resist UV-induced yellowing and fading, making it suitable for outdoor environments.
Troubleshooting
Ink is still flaking after application
Ensure the metal surface was thoroughly cleaned of all grease or factory lubricants before applying the prep pad.
Surface feels tacky long after application
This usually indicates the pad was applied too heavily; use a lighter touch and ensure you are working in a dry environment with good airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, keep the prep pads sealed in their original foil packaging until you are ready to apply them to your substrate. These pads are specifically engineered for metallic surfaces and may not provide the same benefits on porous materials like cardstock or fabric. Store the box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Because the formula is chemical-based, it is recommended to wear nitrile gloves while applying to keep your skin free of the residue and to avoid transferring natural skin oils back onto the metal surface before printing.
