Frequently Asked Questions
How do I attach Gumbitz?
Clean surface thoroughly, and let it dry completely. We have found a small amount of rubbing alcohol/isopropyl alcohol extra effective at removing any remaining dirt, grease, or grime. Gumbitz adhesive won't stick well to a dirty or wet surface.
Remove the backing film and place the Gumbitz on your chosen surface pressing as firmly as possible. Once applied, it's VERY important that you leave your Gumbitz to set for 24 hours. This is when the adhesive actually activates.
If applying to gumboots, please apply to the uppermost and flattest part of the boot. Please also clean a brand new boot! New boots often have manufacturing oils, release agents, or dust on the surface from production or packaging.
Please note: Gumbitz do not stick to silicone.
How long should they stay on for?
It all depends on the wear and tear and whether they’ve been applied correctly (i.e not onto a dirty or wet surface). But we would expect them to stay on for at least 6 months. We've got Gumbitz that are still holding strong well over a year, and have been put through the dishwasher almost every day.
Moisture, UV exposure and heat will degrade the adhesive strength over time. We wanted our stickers to removable and non-permanent to avoid damage and ensure they can be reused. Replacement adhesive is found on our store.
For lunchboxes and drink bottles, hand washing will definitely extend the adhesive life, but we're a dishwashing family. So if that's you as well, please only use the top shelf!
Are there any age restrictions?
Our products are small and because of that could be a choking risk. For that reason, they are not suitable for children under 36 months. We also find that the younger kids like to pick them off.
