How do I get it to be less stiffer? I tried putting it in the sun but it doesn't help.

I have two of these, the glow-in-the-dark and the clear one. The glow-in-the-dark is much stiffer than the other. I can only give you two suggestions: Like a lot of clays and putties, it becomes softer and more pliable the longer you "work" it. If I am thinking ahead, I put the container somewhere where it can be warmed by my body heat ahead of time so that it warms and softens a bit before you want to use it.

No lay it in the sun for a bit and it softens mine is laying against a fence with no issue

I am sure that it could. You might have to try to soften it up a bit by bending it the way that you want to and try to leave it that way for a while so it stays that way for you.

Mine doesn't tilt back easily either. It's very stiff. It isn't made very well.

Honestly, we had the same exact problem !!! It doesn't stay up even with the slightest breeze - return it !

It's probably mold. I'd try using a beach solution and let it stand for awhile.

It works better in warmer weather, and you usually do not want to do it in direct sunlight. In the final step, you cover it with the plastic square and then you want the suns UV rays shining on it. it only takes a few seconds for it to harden.

Put one hand on the top, & one hand on the bottom & apply firm pressure until it moves. It starts out very stiff, but eventually loosens up somewhat.

Get someone stronger to twist it. Use some of those jar gripper things. Keep saying bad words to it until it loosens up. ? ;)

I am not certain that you would be able to get the sailshade taut enough...You may want to think about some other alternatives

It can be stiff, but because it is solid it is also sometimes difficult. I would try a wrench to get it loose

I had the same problem. The plastic seems too thick, what I did was, I shaved the thickness away with a razor, it is not the best solution but it works !

Definitely will help. May be a bit too stiff at the start. Will need to be worked in.

Something in between. I've made fabric panels that are stiff enough they won't wrinkle but have a bit of a bend to them if you need that level of flexibility (e.g., they won't snap in half). The more coats, they stiffer it gets. Use a small roller if doing small sections, on a plastic tablecloth on the floor.

Ummm it should swing up under the pedal next to the lower part of the frame. I wouldn't bend it. After a while of use, the friction will naturally wear away some of the stiffness. you might try a little WD40 or better yet a graphite based lubricant. We are very pleased with the kickstand.

It sounds like yours is defective if it's not from being in direct sun. Contact Amazon "Help" and they will take care of the problem.

No, that seemed to be ok. It should feel stiff. With use it should get easier to use.
