If you’re new to Kailo or simply need a refresher, one of the most common questions we hear is: “What’s the best way to place the adhesive on the Kailo patch?”
Getting this step right is key to making sure your Kailo patch stays in place and works as intended.
Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you apply the adhesive the right way—without any frustration or wasted patches.
Step 1: Don’t Peel the Adhesive First
It may feel natural to start by peeling the adhesive backing, but resist the urge! The best method is actually to keep the protective layer on and align the adhesive with your Kailo patch before peeling anything.
Step 2: Line Up the Adhesive
Take the Kailo adhesive strip (with the printed side facing up) and line it up perfectly with the back side of your Kailo patch. You want the printed side of the adhesive facing the patch so that it matches up edge to edge. (watch the video above for a visual)
Step 3: Press and Peel
Hold the adhesive and the patch together securely at one end. Then, while they’re pressed together, slowly peel away one side of the adhesive’s protective layer. Make sure it sticks to the patch as you go. Once that side is adhered, peel away the other half.
Step 4: Remove the Outer Film
Once the adhesive is securely attached to the Kailo patch, there’s still one more layer to go. Gently lift one of the corners of the remaining protective film on the outward-facing side of the adhesive. You can use your fingernail or the edge of your finger to do this. Peel it back carefully to reveal the sticky surface.
Now your Kailo patch is ready to place directly on your skin or over lightweight clothing.
