Care Precautions

• Porous Surfaces: Use caution on absorbent or recently decorated surfaces (like wallpaper or matt paint), as the natural oils may leave a faint mark over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is it "Prestik" or "Prestick"? While many people search for Prestick, the original South African icon is actually spelt Prestik. It’s so popular that the "wrong" spelling has almost become a local nickname!
• Can I reuse it? Absolutely! One of the biggest benefits of the original Prestik is that you can pull it off, knead it back into a ball, and use it again and again.
• Will it dry out? No, as long as it is kept away from dust and extreme heat, it remains pliable indefinitely.
• Is it safe for kids? Yes, it is non-toxic and solvent-free, though it should be kept away from children under 3 years old to avoid choking hazards.

Quick Life Hack: The "Level-Up" Frame

• If you have a picture frame or mirror that constantly tilts to one side on the wall, place a small pea-sized amount of Prestik behind the bottom corners. It will grip the wall and keep your frames perfectly level and steady, even in high-traffic areas.
