Application Fitting Instructions Wet Method

For large decals (more than 30cm), please read the instructions
below.
Lint-free Cloth
Squeegee
Slippery Solution (a drop of washing up liquid diluted in a gallon
of water)

Optional Materials:
Measuring Tape
Needle
For optimum results, apply decal at room temperature (55 to 75
degrees) or above.

1. Clean the surface thoroughly with lint-free cloth. For best
results, the surface must be clean and free of all waxes and
residue.

2. Slowly pull the backing (heavier gauge paper) off from the
decal. If part of the decal moves out of its original position, you
can put it back into place by pushing the backing down and move
the decal back to its original position.

3. Mix a single drop of washing up liquid with water into a spray
bottle to create a “slippery solution.” Spray the solution to the
adhesive side of the decal.

4. Spray the solution to the surface area where the decal will be
installed to. Make sure the surface area is completely wet to
ensure that you can make proper adjustments to the decal later.

5. Apply the adhesive side of the decal to the surface. At this
point before the slippery solution dries, you can adjust and
readjust the decal without damaging it.

6. Once you are satisfied with the position of the decal, go over
the top of the decal with a squeegee. Repeat this a few times
until you remove most of the slippery solution between the decal
and the surface.

7. Wait approximately 10 to 15 minutes for the decal to dry.
Remove the masking tape by slowly peeling at the corner. If
there are any air bubbles under the decal, work the bubble to
the edge of the decal with your fingers. You can also use a small
needle to poke a hole in the bubble and work the bubble toward
the hole to flatten the surface.

Caution: Cold and wet weather can effect the drying time.

Application Fitting Instructions Dry Method

For small decals (less than 30cm), please read the instructions
below.
For optimum results, apply decal at room temperature (55 to
75 degrees) or above.

1. Clean the surface thoroughly with a lint-free cloth. For best
results, the surface must be clean and free of all waxes and
residue.

2. Slowly pull the backing (heavier gauge paper) off from the
decal. If part of the decal moves out of its original position,
you can put it back into place by pushing the backing down and
move the decal back to its original position.

3. Decide where you want to place the decal and carefully apply
the adhesive side of the decal to the surface.

IMPORTANT: Once the decal is applied to the surface, it cannot
be re-adjusted. If you want to be able to re-adjust the decal
after applying it to the surface, please read the wet application
instructions. The wet application method is recommended for
large decals, but you may also choose to use it on small
decals.

4. Remove the masking tape by slowly peeling at the corner. If
there are any air bubbles under the decal, work the bubble to
the edge of the decal with your fingers. You can also use a
small needle to poke a hole in the bubble and work the bubble
toward the hole to flatten the surface
