# How to Keep Stickers Secure on Fabric, Wood and Plastic.
### **How to Prep Fabric Seats**
If you're placing a VisitorTap sticker on a cloth surface (like a fabric seat or chair), prepping the area makes all the difference. Cloth naturally has dust, lint, and tiny fibers that can weaken the sticker’s grip. Here's how to help your sticker last longer:
- **Lint Roll First:** Before placing your sticker, use a lint roller to thoroughly clean the area. This removes loose fibers, dust, and dirt that could interfere with adhesion.
- **Add Extra Strength:** For even better results, apply a tiny dab of permanent washable fabric glue to your sticker before applying it. We recommend [this glue](https://www.amazon.com/Permanent-Washable-Clothing-Rhinestones-Polyester/dp/B0CTMFZJ7P?pd_rd_w=obcU9&content-id=amzn1.sym.8316a2b5-cd70-46ae-8cd3-b6d53778915d&pf_rd_p=8316a2b5-cd70-46ae-8cd3-b6d53778915d&pf_rd_r=G36YXYPGYPGEG1ZZAQS6&pd_rd_wg=xZuoa&pd_rd_r=c9ab6f34-a57e-4917-a216-e4058c9418f3&pd_rd_i=B0CTMFZJ7P&ref_=pd_basp_m_rpt_ba_s_3_sc&th=1) on Amazon. Just a small amount is enough! Press and hold the sticker firmly for a few seconds.
### **How to Prep Wood and Plastic Surfaces**
If you're placing stickers on wood or plastic prep is still important. Here’s what you should do:
- Wipe down the surface with a clean cloth.
- Use a mild cleaner (like a little soap and water or rubbing alcohol) to remove any oils, dust, or grime.
- Dry completely before sticking.
### **Metal Surfaces**
If you plan to place Tap Cards directly on a metal surface, VisitorTap offers a custom metal-compatible option designed to maintain a reliable NFC connection.[Contact our sales team](mailto:sales@visitorreach.com) to order Metal-Compatible Tap Cards.
#### **Metal can disrupt the functionality of NFC on non-metal compatible Tap Cards.**
Certain metals can interfere with the function of electromagnetic field technology used for communication between the tag and a smartphone. When a non-metal compatible NFC tag is adhered directly on metal, the signal can be either disrupted or completely blocked, causing the tag to become unreliable or unresponsive.
#### **Do not attach non-metal compatible cards directly to metal.**
The NFC signal will be blocked when a card is in contact with metal. Tap cards can be adhered to any portion of the chair that is not metal. So chairs can have metal frames or metal arms, the NFC chip simply can not be in direct contact with it
