Equipment

  • Suction cup
  • Lint-free cloth

Ingredients

  • Rubbing alcohol

Instructions

  • Choose a suitable surface: clean, flat, and completely smooth.
  • Clean, rinse, and dry the surface with a lint-free cloth.
  • Wipe down the surface with rubbing alcohol.
  • Rinse the suction cup, then shake off the excess water (but don't dry it).
  • Press the suction cup firmly against the clean surface, making sure there are no air bubbles.
  • Don't touch the suction cup for 24 hours to give the bond time to set.
  • Remember to press down on the suction cup occasionally to remove any air pockets that may form over time.
