Step-by-Step Build
1. Choose Your Mounting Style
Pick the style that fits your desk:
- Under‑desk: Hidden and clean
- Side‑mount: Easy access
- Wall‑mount: Great for display
- Freestanding: No mounting needed
2. Prep the Surface
Clean the mounting area with:
- Rubbing alcohol
- A microfiber cloth
This removes dust and oils so the adhesive sticks properly.
3. Add Grip (Optional)
If your hanger is smooth plastic, add:
- Rubber bumpers
- Silicone pads
This prevents your headset from sliding.
4. Apply Nano Tape or Adhesive
Flip the hanger over and apply:
- One long strip for under‑desk
- Two small strips for side‑mount
- Full coverage for wall‑mount
Press the tape firmly onto the hanger.
5. Mount the Hanger
Peel the protective film and press the hanger onto your surface:
- Hold for 10–20 seconds
- Make sure it’s straight
- Check that it doesn’t wiggle
Nano tape bonds stronger over the next few hours.
6. Hang Your Headset
Place your headset on the hanger and check:
- Balance
- Angle
- Clearance
- Cable routing
If needed, adjust the hanger slightly before the adhesive fully cures.
