- If you are using center pads from the kit then make sure the tool fits in the middle of the damaged area. Hold banner clasp for five minutes and leave the puller firmly for six hours.
- After you have broken the adhesive bond there will be still left a bit of the glue on the surface. For the rest of the glue use a flathead screwdriver and some alcohol if you face difficulty removing.wipe the area dry, apply primer and paint for a finishing look.
