Summary: This article explains how to test your Tithely Tap Discs sample pack—especially on fabric chairs—to ensure proper adhesion and reliable performance before placing a full order.
Before You Begin
- You will need your Tithely Tap Discs sample pack.
- Choose a representative chair that gets typical use (e.g., from your sanctuary or auditorium).
- You will need a dry cloth or lint roller.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Clean the Chair Surface. Wipe down the fabric where you’ll apply the Tithely Tap Discs. Use a dry cloth or lint roller to remove any dust, lint, or oils that can affect adhesion.
- Peel the Tithely Tap Discs from its backing. Be careful to avoid touching the adhesive with your fingers.
- Apply Firm Pressure to the tag. Press it firmly onto the chair and hold for 15–30 seconds. Make sure the adhesive has full contact with the surface, especially if the fabric has texture or padding.
- Let the Adhesive Set. Leave the Tithely Tap Discs undisturbed for several days. Avoid pressing or tapping it repeatedly during this time; the adhesive needs a chance to cure fully.
- Test the Tap Connection. After it has bonded, use a smartphone to tap the tag. Check that the connection works and that the placement is visible and practical for your environment.
- Check for Longevity. Over the next few days, observe how well the tag stays adhered during regular use. If it holds strong and reads reliably, you're ready to move forward.
Troubleshooting & FAQs
- Why do I need to let it set for several days? The adhesive needs time to cure and create its strongest bond. Testing it too early won't give you an accurate result for long-term performance.
- What if the tag peels off during the test? This may indicate an issue with the fabric surface (such as a fabric protectant) or that a different adhesive type is needed. Please see our guide on applying to chairs with fabric protectant.
