pektel Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Have my trunk floor torn apart to put a layer of dp down. Went to apply the first sheet to the vertical wall in the spare tire well, and it's nit sticking as it should. Cleaned withan all purpose cleaner (optimum power clean) then wiped down with prep solvent. Using a roller too. Does humidity have anything to do with it? It's about 68 f here, but rather humid... It stuck to the trunk lid fine a few days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EclipseChris Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 If DP means damplifier pro then you shouldn't be having any trouble. How warm are the sheets? They need to be at least room temp if not warmer and they will stick to everything forever. Quote i resolve to be a nicer moderator. Tercel build R.I.P. Eclipse build Old New V-Dub My feedback.

If the surface is wet or the least bit damp, that will inhibit Damplifier's ability to adhere to the surface. I'm not familiar with optimum power clean, but I assume it's not a citrus based cleaner, correct? Take a clean dry towel, wipe the surface down, and see of the Damplifier sticks. If it does, then the humidity level may be a bit high. EDIT: I had a similar issue (years ago) when I was installing it in extremely low temps (30s) with high humidity.

pektel Posted May 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 I'm just gonna wait Til tomorrow to try again. Honestly, I think the humidity is playing a role In the evaporation of cleaners from the surface. I pulled a new sheet, and it stuck just fine to the trunk lid. Oh well, one of those things I was only doing because I had the time available. I was out in the garage smoking a nice Cuban cigar and watching the rain, and figured "what the hell, why not stick a few more sheets on..."
