Instructions

Step 1: Check

Check the size of the table’s feet, then cut enough Bostik Blu-Tack to cover each foot.

Step 2: Protect

Wrap each of the table’s feet in Bostik Blu-Tack. Make sure the Blu-Tack is thick enough so the metal tips do not touch the floor.

Step 3: Arrange

Put the table back in place. Feel free to rearrange, reusing the Bostik Blu-Tack protective pads.
