Introduction
This manual provides instructions for the proper use and installation of your Flatirons Disc 4-inch Invisible Plate Hanger. This adhesive disc is designed to securely mount decorative plates, plaques, and other suitable items to a wall, creating a seamless, invisible display.
Important Safety Information
- Ensure the plate surface is clean and dry before application.
- Allow the adhesive to cure for at least 24 hours before hanging the plate.
- Do not use on metal or unvarnished wood, as adhesion may be compromised or damage may occur.
- Test the strength of adhesion by gently pulling on the ring before hanging.
- Keep out of reach of children.
Installation Instructions
Follow these steps to properly install your Flatirons Disc Invisible Plate Hanger:
- Prepare the Plate: Clean the back surface of your decorative plate thoroughly. If the plate is new, vigorously rub a little scouring cream or powder on the back, then rinse clean and allow to dry completely. This ensures optimal adhesion.
- Activate the Adhesive: Place the yellow Disc Plate Hanger face down on a clean, flat surface. Using your fingertips, mix a small amount of water (approximately 1 teaspoon for a 4-inch disc) into the glue on the back of the disc. Spread the water evenly over the adhesive surface. The glue should become tacky within 5-10 minutes.
- Apply the Disc: Carefully center the Disc Plate Hanger on the back of your plate, ensuring the metal hanging ring is positioned correctly for your desired plate orientation. Press the disc firmly onto the plate, rubbing well to expel any air bubbles.
- Curing Time: Allow the adhesive to dry and cure overnight (at least 24 hours) before attempting to hang the plate. This is crucial for a strong, lasting bond.
- Test and Hang: Before hanging the plate on the wall, gently pull on the metal ring to test the strength of the adhesion. Once confident in the bond, hang your plate securely on a wall hook or nail.

Usage
Once installed and cured, the Flatirons Disc Invisible Plate Hanger allows your decorative plate to hang flush against the wall, providing an elegant, hardware-free display.
Care and Removal
The Disc Plate Hanger is designed for long-term display. If removal is necessary, soak the plate in warm water. The disc can then be carefully removed without spoiling the plate or its markings.
Troubleshooting
- Disc not adhering properly: Ensure the plate's back surface was thoroughly cleaned and dry before application. Verify that enough water was mixed into the adhesive and allowed to become tacky. Allow the full overnight curing time.
- Plate fell off the wall: This can occur if the adhesive was not fully cured, if the plate surface was not clean, or if the disc was used on an unsuitable material (e.g., metal, unvarnished wood). Re-evaluate the surface material and reapply a new disc following all instructions carefully, especially the curing time.
- Disc is visible: Ensure the disc size is appropriate for your plate to remain hidden behind it. The 4-inch disc is suitable for plates up to 8 inches (200mm) in diameter.
