FAQ - Why won't my magnets stick?

Every set of magnetic digits are tested before they ship. If you're having trouble with adhesion, please consider the following:

Is your car magnetic?

As mentioned above, cars with body panels that aren't steel will not work with magnets.

The closer magnets are to raw steel, the better they will adhere. If you have a skim coat of bondo on the car, have a super thick paint coat, have thick PPF applied, these will affect adhesion. Test the digits on another car without the aforementioned traits and they should stick well.

Are your magnets laying flat on the car?

If air gets under the leading edge of the magnet, they will come off at speed. This is why it's important to store the magnets completely flat. The most effective method of storage is stuck to a metal surface like a refrigerator, or the garage door. Magnets that are stored on an uneven surface, like on the floor of a car, or in the back seat will heat up and warp, and may not flatten. For those doing track events, it's recommended to add a strip of tape on the leading edge to prohibit air from getting under the magnet.

Magnets curled on the edges can be flattened manually: 

Magnets will also become more pliable with heat. Setting them on your hot hood or in the warm sun will help.
