Clear Stomp Grips Issue?

Just mounted my stomp grips, ordered the transparent ones for this R1 -15 since I like the blue tank colour.

I'm not very happy with the result since the glue seems to be visible all over the Stomps :icon_eek:

I can live with it, but it would feel better if it was possible to improve the look. Have someone had the same problem? Fixed it somehow?

Thanks!

I didn't heat it up before application, it was warm but not "heated". I think it's quite strange behaviour, isn't it possible to make an adhesive that looks clear even if it's applied in normal temperature? Or at least a warning text should say "Never apply Stomp Grips without heating first!".

It is not fingerprints, I think it's the adhesive that gets bunched up in some way when removing the protective paper.

I'll try to heat it up with a hair dryer or even a heating gun now when it's installed and see how it reacts.
