Troubleshooting
Slipmat doesn't lay flat
Ensure the slipmat has been stored flat and is not creased. Allow it to acclimate to room temperature if it has been stored in extreme conditions. Gently press down on the edges to help it settle.
Record seems to be slipping excessively
Ensure the slipmat is clean and free from dust or debris. Check that the turntable is on a stable, level surface. The felt should provide adequate grip for normal playback.
Excessive static electricity
Static can occur in dry environments. Try cleaning the slipmat with an anti-static brush or a slightly damp cloth. Ensuring the turntable is properly grounded can also help.
Logo appears faded or smudged
This is unlikely with an officially licensed product. If the logo is damaged, ensure you have not used abrasive cleaning methods. Contact the retailer if the item arrived damaged.
