FAQs
How many pairs of dots are in a pack?
Each pack contains 8 pairs of hook and loop stick-on dots.
What is the diameter of each dot?
Each dot has a diameter of 19 mm.
Can these be used on clothing?
Yes, they are suitable for use on clothing, especially for projects where sewing is not desired or for temporary closures.
Are they waterproof?
The adhesive is designed for indoor and craft use. While they may tolerate some moisture, they are not specifically waterproof and prolonged exposure to water may affect adhesion.
Can I wash the item with the dots attached?
It is recommended to hand wash items with attached dots in cool water and allow them to air dry. Machine washing and drying may damage the adhesive or the dots themselves.
What surfaces should I avoid using these dots on?
Avoid using them on very rough, uneven, oily, dusty, or wet surfaces, as well as delicate fabrics that could be damaged by the adhesive or the hook material.
How long does the adhesive typically last?
The longevity of the adhesive depends on the surface, the stress applied, and environmental conditions. For best results, use on appropriate surfaces and avoid excessive pulling.
Troubleshooting
Dots not sticking well
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and smooth. Apply firm pressure when attaching. For fabrics, ensure the fabric is not too thick or textured.
Difficulty separating hook and loop
Gently pull the edges apart. If it's very tight, use a small, flat tool to help lift the edge. Ensure no threads or debris are caught between them.
Adhesive leaves residue
Residue can sometimes be removed with rubbing alcohol or a specialized adhesive remover, but test on a hidden area first to avoid damaging the surface.
Dots lose stickiness over time
Clean the hook and loop surfaces as per care instructions. Avoid touching the adhesive side with fingers before application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the surfaces you wish to join are clean, dry, and free from dust or oils.
- Peel the protective backing from one side of the dot (either the hook or the loop).
- Firmly press the adhesive side onto your desired surface.
- Peel the protective backing from the other side of the dot.
- Align and press the second piece of the dot onto the corresponding surface.
- Hold firmly for a few seconds to ensure good adhesion.
Compatibility:
These dots are best suited for smooth, non-porous surfaces such as most fabrics, cardstock, plastic, and finished wood. They may not adhere well to very rough, textured, oily, or flexible surfaces. Test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure.
Care:
To maintain adhesion and reusability, clean the hook and loop surfaces gently with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow to dry completely before re-attaching.
