Проблемаларды чечүү

• Strips not sticking: Ensure the surface was cleaned with rubbing alcohol and allowed to dry completely. Avoid household cleaners. Verify the surface is smooth and not textured, wallpapered, or fabric. Check that the room temperature is within the recommended range (50°F-105°F).
• Strips falling off: Confirm the weight of the item does not exceed 15 lbs (or 16 lbs for four pairs). Ensure strips were pressed firmly for 30 seconds during both frame and wall application steps. The 1-hour wait time before re-hanging is crucial for adhesive bond development.
• Damage upon removal: This typically occurs if the strip is pulled straight out or at an angle, rather than slowly stretched straight down along the wall. Ensure the strip is stretched at least 15 inches (38 cm) to release cleanly.
• Strips not clicking together: Ensure the strips are properly aligned before pressing. Apply firm, even pressure until a distinct click is heard.
