Boil the Suction Cups

Boil a small pot of water and put the suction cup in. The heat will soften the plastic, which can help the suction cups stick stronger.
Remember, don't boil it too long. Remove the suction cups after 30 seconds and dry them with a lint-free cloth. Once they are dry, attach them to the chosen area for optimal suction.

Press on the Suction Cups

When everything is ready, adhere the suction cups to your chosen area. Press firmly on the center of the cups, making sure there aren't any air pockets underneath. Air pockets will make your suction cups seal-less tight.
