Your new vinyl decal / sticker consists of 3 basic parts:

1. Application Paper
  Application paper is the masking tape that we apply to the front of your decal to enable installation.

2. Decal
  This is the actual adhesive decal that you have purchased. It is sandwiched between the
  application paper and the paper backing. The decal is what ends up installed to the surface.

3. Paper Backing
  The paper backing is the wax paper that is applied to the ‘sticky’ side of the decal. This backing
  keeps the decal from sticking to anything prior to install.

Installation Suggestion:  Roll decal in hollow tube shape prior to installation. This will help with the decal release
when applied to surface.

Surface Compatibility

 The surface must be a hard, flat, and non-porous. We strongly suggest you wait at least 60 days
 after painting a surface before applying any decal, because should you ever wish to remove the
 decal the paint will come off with it if the paint is not properly cured before application.

Surface Temperature and Weather Conditions

 Adequate surface temperature and weather conditions are important.
 • The surface temperature should be between 60°F and 90°F, with 70°F to 80°F being the ideal range.
 • It can’t be raining or even drizzling. Decals must be kept absolutely dry until installed.
 • Avoid installing decals in direct sunlight. Surface temperatures in direct sunlight often change
  rapidly and could cause blistering or poor adhesion of decal.

Installation

1. Determine surface for decal to be applied to.  Wash with soap and water or glass cleaner as
   appropriate and dry thoroughly.  Surface should be dirt, oil, moisture, and lint free.

2. Tack decal to the surface using masking tape with sticker facing front (not backwards).  Once you are
  satisfied with the positioning, tape the entire length of the top edge using one continuous strip of tape. 
  This will create a "hinge" along the top, still allowing the paper backing to be removed.
3. Peel the paper backing off carefully, the decal will stick to the application tape.  Start at a corner on the
  hinged edge and peel back gently.  Be sure that the decal does not touch anything until it is burnished. 
  Note:  Make sure that entire decal sticks to the application paper.
4. Using a plastic squeegee, driver’s license, credit card, etc. burnish with firm steady pressure.   Start
  each stroke in the center and burnish in straight parallel strokes.   Overlap each stroke to avoid
  bubbles and wrinkles.  Be sure not to let the decal touch the surface until the burnisher puts it there.
5. Remove masking tape used to position decal in step 2, carefully pull the application paper at a sharp angle. 
  Start at a top corner, and pull down as parallel to the surface as feasible.
  Note:  Verify that the decal is staying attached to surface when removing the application paper.

Dealing with Bubbles

 You may possibly end up with some bubbles in your decal job. Small bubbles will go away in time
 (the film breathes, and will flatten out after a few weeks at an appropriate temperature). If you want
 to work on the bubbles immediately apply moderate heat, then poke them with a pin, pressing the
 vinyl down with your thumb immediately afterwards.
