Applying a Vinyl Decal
For best results when placing a vinyl sticker:
- Clean the surface with rubbing alcohol and allow it to dry completely
- Do not apply to an outdoor when it is windy, to avoid the decal twisting and sticking to itself and ruining the decal
- Plan/visualize where you wish to place your decal, remember you only have one chance to place the vinyl
- Remove the transfer take from the top of the decal, ensuring that it is lifting the decal correctly
- If the decal is not lifting properly, lay the section of transfer tape back down gently and rub it on the decal to get it to stick again
- Try removing the transfer tape from the top down, as it often produces better results
- Place the decal on the clean surface. Do not yet remove the transfer tape. Rub the decal firmly (you may use a credit card or other such card to do this)
- To avoid bubbles, start by placing only one side/edge of the decal on the surface and slowly rolling the rest of the decal on
- Peel back the transfer tape slowly, making sure that the decal remains on the surface
- If the decal is not sticking to the surface, place it back down onto the surface and rub it again with more pressure
Vehicle Placement Note:
The vinyl stickers are permanent on most surfaces, but can still be removed from a car window if need be. Avoid placing the vinyl on the body of a car, as it may lift paint if it is removed later.
