Suction cup guide
Getting a good seal on your suction cups can feel like a science. Here are some tips to help ensure good suction for your feeders.
- Never try to mount a suction feeder on cold days.
- Clean your windows (exterior required, interior beneficial for good viewing).
- Clean your suction cups.
- Dab cooking oil on a paper towel. Dab your finger on that spot. With just a little bit of oil on your finger, rub your finger around the rim of each suction cup.
- Mount your feeder evenly and push on the suction cups.
- Look at where the oil is as you press the suction cups to make sure you’re getting a full seal all the way aroun
