Things you will need.
Rubbing
alcohol or NON-AMMONIA glass cleaner
A (clean,
soft, dry) rag
Squeegee or
credit card
Masking tape
Tape measure
(if needed) to center
THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP
Wash the surface with soap and water. Spray the surface with Isopropyl/Rubbing
alcohol or NON-AMMONIA glass cleaner and wipe dry.
NOTE: Painted surfaces should be allowed to dry for
1 week prior to application.
Measure where you want your decal to be. Use two or three small pieces of masking tape
to hold the entire decal in place.
Adjust it until placement is perfect.
Using one long piece of masking tape, tape down over the
small pieces to create a hinge. Lift the
decal toward the hinge and slowly remove the entire backing liner. Make sure to keep holding the application
tape away from the surface.
FOR LARGE DECALS: Tape across the center of the decal to make a
hinge. This will allow you to work with
one half at a time.
While
holding the application tape away from the surface, use a squeegee or credit
card to help in application. Starting
from the side with the tape, work away from the tape and gently squeegee the
decal down.
FOR LARGE DECALS:
Lift one side of the decal toward the hinge, remove the backing liner up
to the hinge and cut it. Squeegee the
decal from the center outward. Remove
the masking tape, remove the remaining backing liner, and again squeegee from
the center outward.
Use your
squeegee and apply pressure from the middle to the outward sides in all
directions. This will aid the decal’s
adhesion and remove any air bubbles.
NOTE: The decals have a
pressure sensitive adhesive-the harder you squeegee the better the decal will
stick.
Gently remove the application tape to view your decal by
peeling it back over itself. Do not pull
upward or the decal will lift. If you
see vinyl start to come up then lay it back down, squeegee, wait a few minutes,
and try again.
NOTE: Tiny air
bubbles trapped under the vinyl will disappear in a couple of weeks. Large air bubbles can be popped with a pin
and pushed flat with your finger.
REMOVAL: To remove old vinyl graphics, warm the vinyl with a hair
dryer or heat gun. Then peel the vinyl
from the surface with your fingers. Remove all adhesive residue with Goo Gone
or a similar adhesive remover. ( This takes patience.)
