Question

What surfaces do aluminum adhesive foils stick to?

Answer

Aluminum adhesive foils grip best on surfaces that are smooth, clean, and non-porous. Prep the surface first and the bond holds far better and longer.

  • Bonds well to: metal, glass, hard plastic, and painted walls.
  • Weaker hold on: textured or porous surfaces such as raw wood or unfinished concrete, where the adhesive cannot make full contact.
  • Prep step: wipe the surface with isopropyl alcohol and let it dry before applying for the strongest bond.

Apply to a dust-free, grease-free surface at room temperature and press firmly from the center outward to push out any air.
