About electrostatic Sticker

• Since the adhesive strength is strong on both sides and it is difficult to peel off once it is pasted, it will be troublesome if the pasting position is incorrect.

You can easily readjust the location by sticking the 3M Adhesive on the electrostatic sticker and peeling it off.
