Step-by-step guide to attaching the Covered for Sunshine Pen Loop to your LEUCHTTURM1917 notebook. Learn proper placement, adhesive prep, and common mistakes to avoid.

Quick Answer

Clean the notebook cover, peel the liner, and press firmly for 30 seconds. Wait 24 hours before inserting your pen for the strongest bond.

Why Placement Matters

The Covered for Sunshine Pen Loop uses a self-adhesive backing, so once you stick it down, repositioning is difficult without losing grip. Decide exactly where on the cover you want your pen to sit before removing the liner. A common spot is near the spine on the back cover, but you can place it anywhere that feels natural for your grip.

Surface Prep Is the Key to Durability

The adhesive bonds best to a clean, dry, lint-free surface. Even a thin layer of dust or oil from your hands can weaken the hold over time. Wipe the area with a dry microfiber cloth or a mild alcohol wipe (test on an inconspicuous spot first) and let it dry completely before applying the loop.

Installation Steps

Choose the Position: Hold your notebook closed and place the pen loop where you naturally reach for your pen. Mark the spot lightly with a pencil or simply remember the location. Common mistake: placing the loop too close to the edge, causing the pen to stick out past the cover.
Clean the Cover Surface: Wipe the chosen area with a dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust and oils. For a deeper clean, use a mild alcohol wipe and let the surface dry completely. Common mistake: applying the loop to a dusty or damp cover, which reduces adhesion. A clean surface is the single biggest factor in long-term hold.
Peel and Press: Peel the protective liner from the adhesive backing. Align the loop carefully — you cannot reposition it without losing stickiness. Press firmly over the entire 40 × 40 mm area for at least 30 seconds. Common mistake: pressing only the center and leaving the edges loose.
Wait Before Use: Let the adhesive cure for 24 hours before inserting your pen. This allows the bond to reach full strength. Common mistake: sliding a pen in immediately, which can shift the loop or weaken the grip. Patience now saves you from a loose loop later.
Insert Your Pen: Slide your Drehgriffel Nr. 1 or Nr. 2 through the 15 mm elastic loop. If the fit feels too tight, do not force it — the loop is designed for these specific pen models. Common mistake: using a pen with a wider barrel that stretches the elastic permanently.
