Question 3

Is the adhesive removable?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the TabClip and PadTab can be removed with a hair dryer. Heat on high for 30 seconds and then twist slowly. Do not pull straight off or you could rip the paint.

Question 4

How strong is the adhesive?

Accepted Answer

The PadTab uses a special pressure sensitive acrylic bonding tape used for applications such as replacing rivets, spot welds, liquid adhesives and other permanent fasteners. The adhesive is strong enough to meet the demands of a wide variety of applications that are industrial in nature and still is removable.

Question 5

How much weight is supported?

Accepted Answer

We have tested with 5 lbs as an extreme case. The average supported weight is 2 lbs indoors under normal room temperature on a clean, flat, dry and oil-free smooth surface. Todays tablet devices should be under 2 lbs.

Question 6

What surfaces can you apply to?

Accepted Answer

As long as the surface is clean, flat, dry, oil-free, smooth and not heavily textured. You can apply to glass, metal, refrigerators (even stainless steel), or kitchen cabinets (as long as they are sealed with acrylic, polycrylic or polyurethane and not raw wood (with oil stain etc...) for example. The smoother the surface the better for maximum adhesion contact.

Question 7

How do I know the Tabs are adhered correctly?

Accepted Answer

The goal is to not trap air in between the surface and the adhesive during installation. To do this, attach the bottom edge of the TabClip/PadTab first then start with one side by pressing the tab firmly using a rolling motion to "squeeze" out the air bubbles as you press. This will gain you maximum adhesion to the surface. Trapped air can result in failure to properly adhere the TabClip/PadTab to the surface and ultimately lead to product failure.

Question 8

Is my device permanently mounted to the surface?

Accepted Answer

No, you can remove your device at any time by simply lifting upward on your device. When you're ready to re-mount, you can easily engage the PadTab to the TabClip by placing the PadTabbed device portrait or landscape position into the TabClip's "U" Channel then let gravity slowly engage the two.

Question 9

What is the difference between a TabClip and a WallTab?

Accepted Answer

Question 21

What if I want to make the tablet a permanent install and charge it 24/7?

Accepted Answer

This is easy to do. Use both included TabClips for the single install. First, install the PadTab frame onto the tablet. Then slide one TabClip onto the left side of the PadTab frame and one TabClip on the right side of the PadTab frame with respect to the floor. Then stick the entire assembly attached on the tablet to the surface. *** WARNING *** Once you do this, you cannot slide the tablet up and out of the TabClip like a normal install! Take extra precaution when removing it permanently by twisting very slowly over a period of 3 minutes to remove it or you could damage your paint.

Question 22

What if I want to screw the TabClip into a surface?

Accepted Answer

It is possible to optionally drill a countersink hole in the TabClip using a drill, a #4 countersink bit and use a #4-1.25" long countersink wood screw.
