Mighty Skins Drone: Troubleshooting Guide
This guide will help you troubleshoot common issues with Mighty Skins on your drone.
Before you begin:
* Verify the skin is properly applied: Ensure the skin is smoothed out and free of air bubbles. Refer to the Mighty Skins application instructions for guidance.
* Check for any damage: Inspect the skin and your drone for any tears, rips, or scratches.
* Ensure the drone is clean and dry: Dust, debris, or moisture can affect adhesion and cause issues.
Common Issues and Solutions:
1. Skin Peeling or Lifting:
* Cause: Inadequate adhesion due to dust, dirt, or oil on the drone's surface, improper application, or air trapped beneath the skin.
* Solution:
* Clean the surface: Use a microfiber cloth with rubbing alcohol to thoroughly clean the drone's surface before reapplying the skin.
* Reapply the skin: Carefully remove and reapply the skin, ensuring it's smoothed out and free of air bubbles. Use a squeegee or credit card to help with application.
* Use heat: Apply gentle heat from a hairdryer (on a low setting) to soften the adhesive and help it bond better.
2. Air Bubbles:
* Cause: Air trapped beneath the skin during application.
* Solution:
* Squeegee them out: Use a squeegee or credit card to gently push the air bubbles towards the edge of the skin.
* Heat them out: Apply gentle heat from a hairdryer (on a low setting) to soften the adhesive and allow the air bubbles to release.
3. Wrinkles or Creases:
* Cause: Improper application or the skin being stretched too tightly.
* Solution:
* Re-apply: Remove the skin and reapply it carefully, ensuring it's smooth and free of wrinkles.
* Use heat: Apply gentle heat from a hairdryer (on a low setting) to soften the adhesive and allow the wrinkles to relax.
4. Skin Rips or Tears:
* Cause: Accidental damage during application or use.
* Solution:
* Contact Mighty Skins: If the damage is significant, contact Mighty Skins customer service for replacement options.
5. Skin Discoloration or Fading:
* Cause: Exposure to sunlight or UV rays.
* Solution:
* Limit sun exposure: Store your drone in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight when not in use.
* Consider a new skin: If the discoloration is severe, consider replacing the skin with a new one.
General Tips:
* Always follow the application instructions: Mighty Skins provides detailed instructions for each skin type and drone model.
