Does anyone else have trouble getting it to stick to the ceiling with vacuum pressure?

If you turn the vac to manual and full suction, it will hold itself to the ceiling. With the sander running it won't, with the exception of switching the slide on the head of the unit to vacuum. But my experience with that ended in having to get the mud pan back out to fix the swirls.

Push the round suction part in all the way with your thumbs before you attach it to the tile, mine stays for a very long time, maybe every 2 month or so you have to redo the suction. Hope it works for you! make sure the tile is clean and dry.

I have been unable to get it to adhere to my tile wall for more then a few minutes before it falls down. Has anyone been able to do this successfully?

This is crazy, I'm having the same problem and I can not for the life of me budge that thing... my husband and I have both tried with all our strength. I'm about to throw it out a window.

are you using the clear hose that came with it? We had trouble with ours so switched to a regular vacuum hose.

Same thing happened with mine. I found that pushing down on the top near the latch sometimes helps. I went to a locksmith and he adjusted the latch but still sticks at times

Well they generally stick pretty well to my textured ceiling but a few did fall off. Honestly you've probably got about 50/50 chance of them sticking. Since the brick is painted it might stick better.

it may have too much dust on it to stick. clean the pad with a little soap and water and try it again

My husband held it in different areas in the room, as well as vertical and horizontal (sp) till we reached the desired effect. We found up high and horizontal worked well for our purposes. Best of luck!

Mine sticks as well. I pull straight up with force and it finally comes out.

I had the same problem. You don't need to press it to hard to the surface or maybe your air compressor is up to high. Hope this helps�

I have used my fien vac it does stick some. Hasn't been a problem . I bought a adapter to adjust air flow didn't notice much difference .

Unfortunately it tends to stick pretty badly. I was able to open the unit by taping one side of the attachment gently with a wrench; it took some time. No easy trick to it I'm afraid.

It usually sticks. I soak mine in water for several hours, then hold the part on the outside bottom that turns, and pull very hard. It comes off. Any chance you have forced it on without making sure you have it "flat side to flat side"?

Im having the same problem and according to the reviews on this site...We are not alone. Ive tried saturating the heck out of um .. to a fine mist and no mater what they just dont seem to stick very well. Looks to me like it needs more work. There was some mention about placing it under a book to flatten the design? I dont know... to be honest the instructions that came with this thing, In my opinion were very lacking. If my 6 yr old son didnt just "HAVE TO HAVE IT!" I wouldnt have gone with this toy and I wont be recommending it to anyone else.

I have been having the same issue with mine, the manual suggests the use of adhesive tape to remove dust from the adhesive. I haven't tried it yet, will let you know what works, looking forward to replies on this post for other innovative ideas on cleaning...
