Decal installation

Decal Installation Instructions:

Thank you for choosing our decal! To ensure a smooth and successful installation, please follow these step-by-step instructions:

Materials Needed:

  1. Decal
  2. Clean, lint-free cloth
  3. Water and a drop of mild detergent
  4. Squeegee or credit card
  5. Painter's tape (optional)

Installation Steps:

1. Surface Preparation:

  • Ensure the application surface is clean, dry, and free of dust, dirt, or grease.
  • If needed, use a mild detergent mixed with water to clean the surface. Allow it to dry completely.

2. Placement:

  • Using painter's tape, create a guide or mark the area where you intend to place the decal. This helps in positioning it accurately.

3. Peel Off Backing:

  • Carefully peel off the backing paper from the decal, exposing the adhesive side.

4. Wet Application (Optional):

  • Spritz the adhesive side of the decal and the application surface with a mixture of water and a drop of mild detergent. This allows for repositioning during installation.

5. Apply the Decal:

  • Position the decal onto the marked area or the desired location, starting from one edge.
  • Smooth out the decal gradually, working from the center outward to eliminate air bubbles.

6. Squeegee Application:

  • If you didn't use the wet application method, use a squeegee or credit card to firmly press down the decal, ensuring proper adhesion. Work from the center outward.

7. Remove Transfer Tape:

  • Gently peel off the transfer tape at a sharp angle, leaving the decal adhered to the surface.

8. Final Check:

  • Carefully inspect the entire decal for air bubbles or wrinkles. If any are present, gently lift that section and smooth it out.

9. Allow Time to Cure:

  • Let the decal sit undisturbed for at least 24 hours to ensure proper adhesion and avoid any lifting.

Tips:

  • Apply the decal in a warm, dry environment for the best results.
  • Take your time during the application process to avoid mistakes.
  • If air bubbles persist, puncture them with a pin and smooth out the decal.
