Protector Application With Applicator Assist
We recommend using our Applicator Assisters for larger or more intricate hardware. They let you hold the protector in place over the hardware before applying, helping you achieve the perfect fit every time.
1. Attach the Applicator Assist: Begin by placing the applicator assist onto the protector.
2. Align with Hardware: Use the applicator assist to carefully line up the protector with the hardware.
3. Apply the Protector: Once aligned, press the protector gently onto the hardware.
4. Secure the Protector: Firmly press down to ensure the protector is properly attached.
5. Remove the Applicator Assist: Hold the protector in place while carefully lifting off the applicator assist.
6. Smooth It Out: Gently smooth the protector down, making sure there are no bubbles underneath.
7. Allow Time to Set: Your application is now complete! The protectors are self-leveling, so leave them for up to 7 days, during which they will become less visible.

We recommend using our Placement Tabs when applying protectors to hardware with raised sections or areas that are harder to reach, like small zips. The tabs make it easier to get close to the hardware for more precise placement before applying the protector.

1. Attach Placement Tabs: Start by sticking the placement tabs onto the protector.
2. Align with Hardware: Use the tabs to carefully line up the protector with the hardware on your handbag or accessory.
3. Apply the Protector: Once aligned, press the protector gently onto the hardware.
4. Secure the Protector: Firmly press down on the protector to ensure it’s properly attached.
5. Remove Placement Tabs: While holding the protector in place, carefully lift off the placement tabs.
6. Smooth It Out: Smooth the protector down to remove any bubbles trapped underneath.
7. Allow Time to Set: Your application is complete! The protectors are self-leveling, so leave them for up to 7 days to allow them to settle and become less visible.
