ALFA-LOK® fasteners pack super strong holding power into mere inches of hook to hook engagement. Small pieces, like the one-inch squares or 3 in x 1 in strips, will get most jobs done. We recommend 25mm square of fastener for each 1kg of load, not to exceed a total weight of 6.8kgs. ALFA-LOK® fasteners are not recommended for drywall, polypropylene, polyethylene or fabric surfaces Apply at 10° C or higher Apply to a clean, dry surface free of dust, debris or oils Remove the protective liner to expose the adhesive and press firmly along the full length to ensure a firm adhesive bond to the surface. Touching the adhesive will weaken performance Adhere tape to the application surface and allow to set for 60 minutes prior to mounting. Adhesive reaches maximum strength after 24 hours Use minimum one square inch of fastener for each 1kg of weight. Total weight should not exceed 6.8kgs. Minor hook shredding is normal upon repeated opening and closing and does not materially affect closure performance.
