Why do some people have problems with them not sticking &amp; others don't ? What makes them not stick?

i think we all have different an=mounts of moisture and texture on skin , depends on the area u stick it on. i would alcohol clean the area well before each use , so it free of oil . i also got Parker Labs Tensive Conductive Adhesive Gel, 50 g Tube, and use very lightly only after pad becomes less sticky worked well .

I have not used them to extensively but the three or four times I have, there was not even a hint of them sticking to the equipment. I do not think it is something to worry about. This is the first time I have heard of such a thing.JC

Danielle and Monica are spot on. Try not to touch the gel pads as the oils on the hand do not help with the stickiness. I have dampened my finger and moistened the gel to clean them and rehydrate them. Have had no problem after doing that.

I had a sticking problem with one batch of donuts out of 3, with each being a different recipe. Some recipes are more self-lubricating than others. I tried to coat with vege oil but found that it just beaded up on the non-stick surface. PAM sounds like a good solution.

I had that problem too. Try spraying them with Pam. Eventually, they sort of get greasy and it gets easier. They're not as slick as you are led to believe.

I don't know. I haven't had any problem with them not sticking. I have only been using it a week. there are replacement pads available to order though. I would think new pads would be safer. or perhaps you could try some adhesive tape over them?

It shouldn't be sticking... I would call the manufacturer. They should be able to tell you how to fix it or send you a replacement part!

I don't have a sticking problem, however sometimes people have a heat higher than the smoke point of the oil that they use, and the oil actually caramelizes and make things stick. That is my best guess. So far no issue with my Wok and I use it about once a week.

I have never had this problem and I have whacked the balls against one another as well as myself countless times LOL. I've had mine for quite some time now, use them regularly, and have had no problems whatsoever. I would try to contact the seller if I were having those issues.

No sticking problems. If I cook something that is adhering I put some water in the pan, heat it to boiling for a few moments and then it all comes off easily. I don't think you should ask us re safety but research it on a reliable website on your own. I really like the cookware.

I've been pleased by their stickiness. I cut many of them in half long-wise, to fit slim cases, which provides even less surface area for adhering, and they stick generally well. Just have to make sure to press them on securely to begin with. In a few cases, they've begun coming off, but the issue may very well have been my not applying them carefully enough (have done 1000's, so no surprise if a few have a loose end).

i found that I could remove them and they were still some what sticky. However I could not get them to stick any where else. I think it will depend upon what materials you use.

You can move them a couple times but not over and over. They lose their stickyness if you do.

Our walls are not smooth, they have a textured (bumpy) surface to the drywall which was then painted over. So it's a bumpy wall, and it sticks just fine. We put it up at Christmas time, and now 5 months later I had to touch up one corner once (rubbed my hand over it for 2 seconds) and have otherwise not had to deal with it at all. It was a great find for us.

I would say it all depends on how well they are sealed and how smooth the surface is. If it is very rough you may have problems getting it to stick because it has to have all the air bubbles smoothed out to adhere properly. I have mine in the bathroom so it does hold up to moisture. Hope this helps!

they are very sticky. and hard to remove from most surfaces. so i'm sure they will stick. but you might be able to remove them easier later

Did you scratch it? I have had mine for two years. I have used it at least once a week every week and never had it to stick. If it's not scratched and you are using Pam, I don't know. Sorry.
