Anyone else have the adheasive fail on metal? I cleaned the surface with rubbing alcohol and they are falling off in many places

I think you may have chosen a surface cleaner. Rubbing alcohol contains lanolin which is an oil, which is leaving an oily surface and the adhesive is failing to adhere to the oily film left by the "solvent". Try denatured alcohol or another true solvent. I have mounted the HitLights to steel and aluminum with no problems to date. Give it another try.

That's a strong possibility. You can always try it and if it fails you can try some 3M double sided adhesive tape. Good Luck.

I've personally never cleaned my arrays except by immediately rinsing them in hot water.They work by the metal reacting with the water and electricity and eventually the metal degrades to the point it won't react anymore. At that point,use a new one. My old arrays lasted @50xs each.

The alcohol will degrade/evaporate before the metal corrodes. I've had alcohol in mine for a month and it all still works. Hope this helps.

The directions tell you not to get any on metal. I'd use rubbing or polishing compound, depending on how bad the markings are.

You have to use some kind of metal prep I used a pint of muratic acid from the hardware store it worked fine you just need to rinse very well and then dry and treat quickly before the metal has time to oxidize

I don't know, I'm sorry to say. I used the product on my car & didn't experience this problem. I would put the question to the company (or at least check and see whether their website has FAQs that are relevant). In your shoes, I'd probably try scrubbing the area gently with a toothbrush and some mineral spirits, just to see if anything might come loose. Sorry to hear of your troubles!

Try some oil or grease, you can clean it off with a solvent if it doesn't work

No problems with mine. Have they always been that way, or has something possibly gotten around them? I periodically wipe mine down with alcohol wipes to remove any oils, creams, make-up etc. in addition to germs.

Same problem. I sprayed mine also and they still came out messed up. I won't use it nowl. I bought a nice metal pan and have no problems with it.

I added more spray when mine had problems sticking. Let me know if this helps

Mine aren't dirty enough to warrant a cleaning. Suggest send it back to manufacturer or buy a new one (doubt they take trade-ins, eh...)

The manufacturer no longer recommends them for painted surfaces or metals. Sorry!

Did this happen after using glisten? If so that would be odd. If not, probably hard water, run glisten through the cycle, make sure the water in the dw is hot, then try a load of dishes. you should see improvement. I keep Jet dry in my dw too because I also have hard water, but haven't had the problem of white surface on my plates or glasses since I used glisten. I run this through my dw once a month.

Did you wipe them with cleaner after the last top coat? If not, that's what you need to do...it will remove the stickiness.

Try using black pipe insulation on bars for replacements . And crank down hard on holding arms so there is no friction.

May be something to do with the surface. I have had these strips up for several months now without any problem. All I did was clean the surface before pasting the strips.

You should take apart and reassemble.. Those little silver tabs are very important and may not have a good connection. Try rubbing them down a little better
