The surface remain sticky after I leave it to dry to 5 days. Any idea why?

Temperature and humidity factor largely into how long it takes any paint to dry. This paint is oil based, so it does require much longer than average drying time, but under normal conditions, 5 days is bit excessive. If humidity and/or temp is a factor, that is most likely the cause. If whatever is being painted is in an area without ample air flow, that may be an issue as well. It does harden and becomes more durable eventually. In the heat of summer, I painted several coats on some metal shelves in my garage. I had to be patient. :)

No, mine reminded a little tacky feeling for a while, but eventually hardened

Soaking off takes a really long time. I file it down and apply over it, letting it grow out. Sometimes they eventually "pop" off, then I just prepare the surface again and make a new one. Or you could file it way down and then soak off.

Use a hair dryer on the velcro for a couple of seconds. It heats up the stickiness and the velcro just peels right off.

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.

Mine usually stays on and I take lots of baths. Sometimes it comes off and I set it sticky side up on the counter to dry and reapply it after the bath. It still works and will stays on the remaining days. I don't know why it comes off during some baths and sticks other times

Wow...I've not had that happen before with this product. Assuming the surface was properly prepped before application, applied in thin coats, and kept dry for 72 hours after that, the only thing I can imagine would cause that is high humidity. If you have a dehumidifier handy, I'd suggest using that in the bathroom for 24 hours. If not, all I can say is that the product should eventually dry. With my limited knowledge of this particular situation, that is the best I can offer. I just hope it's helpful in some way.

If it falls off push the suction part in with your thumbs and stick it back on a clean, dry surface and it will stick again. It looses suction after some time but is easy enough to put back up.

I don't believe anyone can give a definitive answer, as it depends on the humidity in your house, and whether you've used extra glue in addition to the stuff that's already on it (which I recommend you do, as it makes placement and movement easier). When in doubt, wait another day or two.

just run it through some water until its soft again and keep it in a sealed plastic container(like the one it came in) so it doesn't lose the moisture when left in dry areas or not used for a long time.

It is VERY sticky and wet, but does dry eventually. it does take a little while to dry.

Wow thank u, good to know/keep in mind, i just purchased mine a couple of weeks ago. Maybe try wiping down the surface? Maybe its been de-sensitized?

I would think the surface is not clean enough. Could there have been something like armor all on it? I use it on hard plastics, metal and glass and it sticks very well right away. I would try cleaning it with alcohol first.

It was rubbery not sticky. I don't know what you need to do. May be it is defect. You may need to call customer service.

I believe the instructions said to allow to dry for 24-48 hours, but because I was not in a hurry I waited approx 4 days.

I have had the same problem with the adhesive weakening over time, particularly with temperature fluctuations. I ended up using a double-stick foam tape (3M) , for longer-term results.
