Can someone please give me a helpful hint on how to get the sticker cover off the convex barrier rings? My fingernails are super short and my hands are numb from spine surgery. My dog won't help; he wants to eat them. Cats are absolutely no help. No family or friends near to help. Thank you.

Every once in a while, mine will stick. After I shape it out to where it needs to be, I'll hold it between my hands to warm it up a little. About 95% of the time, it works. Occasionally, once applied, the top plastic sticker still will stick. Then I just rub my fingers around it and create a ripple in the sticker and slowly pull it off. Wish you luck.

Tweezers, hon.

You have grip and leverage.

Works for me big time.

A small knife or scissor blade to slide under it and lift it up to get it started.

Check that you haven't got old stock. When they get out of date, the adhesive goes hard and makes it difficult to peel off. Warm it up with a hair dryer, and it should make it easier. Regards, IGGIE
