What Mistakes Should You Avoid When Using Weatherproof Labels f
-
Using weatherproof labels for outdoor equipment is straightforward, but common mistakes can ruin their effectiveness. First, don’t confuse “waterproof” with “weatherproof”—regular waterproof labels fail against UV rays, temperature swings, and friction. Opt for MakeID’s all-weather labels that handle multiple environmental stressors. Second, skip rushed surface preparation: dirty, oily, or damp surfaces destroy adhesion. Always clean with a residue-free cleaner, dry thoroughly, and sand rough surfaces gently. Third, ignore curing time at your peril—exposing labels to harsh conditions before 24–72 hours of adhesive curing causes peeling. Fourth, choose the wrong label size: too small limits readability, too large peels easily. Fifth, install in extreme temperatures—only apply labels in 10°C–38°C to activate the adhesive. Sixth, place labels on high-risk zones: moving parts, heat vents, or water-collecting areas accelerate wear. Finally, neglect maintenance—infrequent checks let fading or loosening go unnoticed. Avoid these mistakes, and your MakeID weatherproof labels will deliver long-lasting, reliable performance for outdoor gear. Click here to know more.
