How to Install a Decal

1. Using a strong cleaner which will not harm the sign surface, wipe the entire area and beyond. Wipe the area again with a very mild detergent or just plain water to remove any residue. Wipe the surface dry with a lint-free cloth.
2. Place masking tape along the top edge of the sheet. With the backing paper and application tape still attached, position the vinyl sticker so that it is properly aligned and level.
3. Flip the sheet up using care not to peel the masking tape away. Remove the wax coated backing paper by slowly peeling it away. Be sure the vinyl remains on the application tape.
4. Starting at the top edge, firmly slide the squeegee (you can use a credit card or driver license) side to side to seal the letters to the surface. Slowly work your way to the bottom of the sign. Do not let the letters touch the sign surface until the squeegee passes over the area.
5. Slowly peel away application tape, making sure that all letters are sticking properly. Use your squeegee if any areas of the letters are not sticking well. Air bubbles can be removed by cutting a small slice in the letter and working air out with the squeegee. Application tape may bubble or wrinkle during the shipping process. This is completely normal for it to do so and it won`t affect the decal. Just smooth out the decal from the middle out using the edge of a credit card or driver’s license. Most of the bubbles and wrinkles will smooth out, and those that don`t, will not appear on your decal once you apply it. We recommend that if you do not want to install the graphics yourself, that you take them to a professional.
