Tools Needed
| Scissors | Paper Towels |
| Masking or Painters Tape | Tape Measure |
| Plastic Applicator, Hard Squeegee, or Credit Card | Other Common Household Cleaning Fluid and Warm Clean Water to Rinse |
Step 1:
Clean the Surface
Clean the surface. Smooth, non-porous, surfaces work best like glass, metal, car bumpers or panels, painted items, and tile. Thoroughly clean the area. If you use glass cleaner, it can leave residue. Rinse with clean water. Make certain the surface is dry. Make sure your hands are clean.
Step 2:
Decal has a Crack-n-Peel Back
Don’t remove backing yet. Just learn where the crack-n-peel locations are.
Step 3:
Place and Align – via Temp Tape
In this step make sure the decal is vertical and level and in the place you want it to be.
Use masking tape or painters tape to temporarily adhere to intended surface. Stand back and make sure it is in the orientation and location you want.
Step 4:
Apply Top Portion of Decal
Using the crack-n-peel seam, gently separate the top corner of the decal by removing just that portion of the backing.
Gently apply that portion to the surface, insuring that the orientation of the decal is retained. Press and smooth that portion of the decal.
Step 5:
Remove the Temporary Tape
With the top corner of the decal now on the surface, it will hold the decal in place. The temporary tape can be carefully removed.
Step 6:
Carefully Remove Remaining Backing
Carefully and gently bend out the remaining decal from where the top corner is attached. Don’t fold. Peel off the backing from where the edge of the top corner is attached.
Keep the remaining decal away from the surface and carefully smooth down from the attached top corner of the decal. Care to gently press and work out and down from the attached decal. Care to keep decal flat. Care to not skew the art work
Step 7:
Squeegee to Apply
Up to this point the decal has been gently pressed to surface. Now you can firmly press the decal on, working out from the center of the art toward the edges. You can use the edge of a credit card or hard cardboard as a squeegee to make sure the decal is permanetly attached. Smooth out any bubbles. Care to not tear or move the delicate points of the decal. Work from the wider areas of the decal to its points.
Enjoy!
Now, stand back and admire your job well done! Enjoy!
Some Things to Consider:
Surface Texture:
Our decals work best when applied to smooth, non-porous surfaces like glass, car panels, plastic, painted drywall, stainless steel and tile.
In fact, when properly applied and maintained, our vinyl decals can have a great lifespan. Our vinyl decals could last up to 3-5 years.
We do not recommend placing our decals on brick or other porous, rough surfaces. Don’t use in dish washer.
