Ron PrattIf by chance you bought that meat say from a butcher shop or even a grocery store then most likely it was too dry for the bond to form to start with which caused the problem.
You need to follow the Clean Transfer instructions plus these three keys for successful bonding:
1) gooey moist meat surface
2) resting meat side down, fat cap up for the first week (which will GUARANTEE the necessary 75-80% surface contact between meat and UMAi Dry®)
3) modern frost free fridge
