Adhesive Shelf Liners Tip:

Application

Adhesive shelf liners can be used on a variety of surfaces. Self-Adhesive Easy Liner has a very low tack adhesive and is best used on solid, finished surfaces such as vinyl, laminates, metal and glass.

We recommend Peel 'n Stick liners for laminating or lining surfaces where adhesive residue will not be an issue upon removal.

Choosing the right box for shipping

Use a Care Mail corrugated box instead of a two-piece box with a lid.

Don't skimp and use an old box from the garage or attic. It may not provide enough protection during shipping.

Choose a box slightly larger than the items being shipped. This leaves space on all sides to cushion the items against jostling, dropping or damage.

Make sure the box has no tears, punctures or crush marks.

Keep in mind that many shipping containers are made for mailing specific items (Mailing Tubes, CD Mailers, Video Mailers, Photo Mailers, etc.)

Removing weatherstripping

If the adhesive isn't fused to the surface, use a hair dryer or heat gun to soften the adhesive and remove the strip.

To remove foam weatherstripping, roll the foam onto itself down the side of the door. Saturate the adhesive with solvent and let it soak in for 5 to 10 minutes. Place a rag or towel over your index finger and rub the adhesive residue in a circular motion until it comes off.

Application

Non-adhesive Easy Liner products are safe for many surfaces including bare wood, painted wood, wood that has been stained but not varnished, Formica, glass and metal.

The cautionary statement on our Easy Liner packages reads: "Caution: Not for use on lacquered or urethaned surfaces. Finish damage will occur."

Easy Liner products contain chemicals called plasticizers, which form a permanent bond with lacquer and urethane finishes. When you try to remove Easy Liner from a lacquered or urethaned surface, two things may happen: 1) The Easy Liner will stick to the surface. 2) The Easy Liner will lift from the surface, removing part of your cabinet finish.

If your cabinets look shiny or varnished, they probably have a lacquered or urethaned finish. Check with the cabinet finisher/manufacturer to be sure.
