To remove a Quadlock universal mount (specifically the Universal Adaptor from your phone or case), you need to apply heat and carefully peel it off.
Step-by-Step Guide to Removing the Quadlock Universal Adaptor
The Quadlock Universal Adaptor uses a strong adhesive to secure it to your device or case. To safely remove it without damaging the surface, follow these steps:
- Apply Heat: Use a heat source, such as a hair dryer on a low heat setting, and direct it towards the edge of the Universal Adaptor that you wish to start peeling from.
- Warm the Adhesive: Keep the heat focused for a short period. The goal is to warm the adhesive layer underneath the adaptor to soften it.
- Begin Peeling: Once the adhesive is warm, carefully start to peal adaptor from the device starting at one edge. You can use a fingernail or a plastic prying tool (like a credit card edge) to lift the initial corner.
- Work Your Way Outwards: Slowly and steadily continue peeling the adaptor outwards from the starting edge, applying gentle pressure. If you encounter resistance, apply a little more heat to that section before continuing to peel.
- Remove Residual Adhesive: After the adaptor is off, there may be some adhesive residue left on the phone or case. This can typically be removed with adhesive remover wipes, rubbing alcohol, or other suitable cleaning products.
Important Consideration:
- Avoid Excessive Heat: Please be mindful not to damage the device or case with excess heat. Use a low setting and only heat the area of the adaptor directly.
By applying moderate heat, you can significantly weaken the bond of the VHB (Very High Bond) adhesive used on the Quadlock Universal Adaptor, allowing for smoother removal.
