What will dop stick to?
The dop is made to stick to polished, flat surfaces like mirrors, windows (glass), finished wood, the stainless steel on your refrigerator, some plastics, glossy bathroom or kitchen tile, whiteboards and more. It will not stick to porous, rough, matte, or uneven surfaces. Drywall? Not so much. Lacquered wood? Yes! Play around on different surfaces and you’ll quickly figure out where it works and where it does not
How many times can I plop and re-plop my dop?
The best thing about dop is that you can plop and re-plop as many times as you desire. Because it’s not adhesive, you can you it throughout your day, everyday!
What if my dop doesn’t stick?
Make sure the surface you’re working with is flat and polished to ensure it will stick. The surface also needs to be clean. Dirt and grime will make suction difficult.
The dop is not meant to be permanent, so even on the best surface it may lost suction over time. Here are a few keys to ensure your dop works properly for use over its long life.
1. When not in use, make sure dop is stored with the suction cup disengaged.
2. If suctioned on a surface for a long time, the dop suction cup may become malformed. To fix, unscrew the dop, take the suction cup out and use your hands to flex the suction cup until it’s flat again.
3. Clean off your dop suction cup with water to make sure there is no dirt getting in the way of a good suction.
