DECAL APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
We encourage you to read these instructions if the decal you're applying
is 15" long or more. For up to 12" decals you don't need to follow all
steps, but it's definitely beneficial to go over the next few lines.
You need masking tape, squeegee (or rolled-up
small towel), measuring tape and scissors. Before you start, put the decal
on a hard surface facing up and apply pressure over the graphics/letters
with a squeegee, ruler or simply with your finger - this will ensure
that the transfer tape will lift the vinyl properly from the wax paper
and allow you to transfer to the desired place of application. Follow
the procedure below:
1. Fix the decal in the exact position where you
want it by placing masking tape vertically in the middle of the decal.
This tape is called hinge, because it allows each end of the decal to
flip and still holds the middle securely in position. The transfer paper
(semi-transparent paper) has to face you, other words you have to be
able to see the image the same way that it’s going to look on the car.
2. Once in place, flip one side of the decal and
carefully peel the bottom paper (wax paper), cut it off near the hinge
and throw it aside. Now the only thing you’re holding is the transfer
paper with the vinyl graphics on it. Starting from the hinge and working
your way out to the end of the decal, firmly press the transfer film to
the car surface, using squeegee or tightly rolled towel.
3. Remove the masking tape (hinge) and follow the
same procedure for the other side of the decal. Once the entire decal is
in place, apply extra pressure over the vinyl graphics, just to make
sure they’re stuck nicely to the surface.
4. Peel the transfer paper off. CAREFUL: Don’t pull
90 degree of the surface, instead peel it off close or completely flat
to the surface of the car. If you applied the decal properly, transfer
paper will never have enough force to lift off the vinyl, but if you
didn’t stick it on right, it may take off part of the vinyl graphic.
You’re done.
