Troubleshooting
Trim doesn't stick properly.
Ensure the surfaces are clean and dry. Use an appropriate adhesive suitable for the materials. Consider using more adhesive or stronger double-sided tape.
Trim is not straight.
Make sure the trim is completely flat before installation. Allow more time for it to flatten if needed. Check for any obstructions during the installation.
Colour fading over time.
While the trim is UV stable, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may still cause some fading. Consider using a UV-protective sealant for areas with intense sunlight exposure.
