Are heavy-duty stickers suitable for curved or rounded surfaces?
Heavy-duty stickers are best for flat surfaces; testing is recommended for curved applications.
Application on Curved or Rounded Surfaces
While heavy-duty stickers are engineered for maximum adhesion, they are primarily designed for flat, smooth surfaces. However, they may adhere effectively to curved or rounded surfaces, depending on several factors. The degree of curvature, surface texture, and environmental conditions all play a role in how well the sticker bonds.
For best results, we recommend testing a small section before applying the sticker fully, especially on pipes, cylinders, helmets, or uneven surfaces. If the curvature is too extreme, the edges may lift over time. To improve adhesion, consider applying gentle heat (like a hairdryer) while pressing firmly over the surface to help the sticker conform better.
To maximize adhesion and durability, always ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or other contaminants before application. This will give the sticker the best possible grip, reducing the chances of peeling or lifting.
