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:
- Decal
- Clean, lint-free cloth
- Water and a drop of mild detergent
- Squeegee or credit card
- 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.
