1. Clean the surface area where the
sticker is to be applied. Use glass cleaner or rubbing alcohol.
Application of these stickers are best at temperatures between 55 - 85
degrees.
2. Position your sticker on the surface you intend it to be applied
to. Put a piece of tape (masking tape), on either upper corner. Use a
measuring tool of some kind to square it.
3. Apply masking tape the full distance
across the top, half on the sticker, half on the surface. Note: If a little nervous, here is where you will need the warm soapy
water. When you lift the sticker, backing and transfer tape, spray a
mist all over the area you are working on.
4. Lift the sticker, backing and transfer tape all together. Slowly
remove the wax paper backing while holding on to the sticker and
transfer tape. Be VERY careful not to let the sticker fall into itself!
- Keep spread out and taut. Also be sure the hinged area does not come
off the transfer tap or the surface.
5. Again, holding the sticker and transfer tape taut with one hand,
start from the top and middle with your squeegee, pressing firmly work
outward from top/middle to top/right then top/middle to top/left. Then
squeegee width down/middle to the right and then to the left. Do not
skip any area as you are working your way down or you will get bubbles
or even wrinkles that you may not be able to get out.
6. Go back over the entire area even more firmly now, try to go the
same way you did originally.
7. Remove masking tape and squeegee upwards over that area the masking tape was covering. Note: If you used the soapy water you can now make sure there are no
bubbles, wrinkles and you can even straighten it a bit. Be sure the
last thing you do before removing the tape if using the soapy water is
SQUEEGEE FROM THE MIDDLE OF ENTIRE STICKER OUT UNTIL ALL BUBBLES,
WRINKLES AND WATER ARE OUT. Using liquid while applying the decal slows
down the process - if the decal comes up when you are removing the
transfer tape,
just put it back down and wait longer for the moisture to disappear.
8. Now remove the transfer tape, slowly starting from one corner
pulling away from the surface while keeping the transfer tape you are
pulling on as close to the surface area as you can. Doing this
minimizes the chances of pulling up the sticker with the transfer tape.
After several days you should be able to wash with a cloth, soap and water
- and go through Car Washes, etc…
Doesn't
matter where
you live, or how many
decals you order!
