 “When all else fails...Follow the Directions”
 

Surface Preparation
Be sure the application surface is clean and free of dirt, oils, grease, residue, wax and dust.
Clean with soap and water, dry surface, wipe with alcohol.
A clean surface is IMPORTANT to ensure maximum adhesion, durability and life of the decal.
Tips, Tricks and Help
For wet application - A good homemade application solution is: 3 to 4 drops of Dawn dishwashing
soap in a gallon of water ( yes just 3 or 4 drops is enough and use DAWN only) Mark location
for the graphic by marking it off with masking tape around where the graphic will be placed. (Marking
it with pen or marker the marks may disappear when you get the area wet if using wet application.
Always rub pre-spaced graphic before starting to be sure it is adhering to the masking carrier.
Wetting the masking/application tape after the graphic is applied and squeegeed will help in the
removal of application tape. DO NOT hold pre-spaced graphics in air trying to remove the backing,
LAY GRAPHIC FACE DOWN on a flat surface. To release any trapped air bubbles, use a pin and
put a pin hole in the EDGE of the Bubble, and push air bubble from one side towards the edge with
pin hole. DO NOT PUT PIN HOLE IN MIDDLE OF BUBBLE.

  Pre-spaced Application

hinge, and peel off the backing paper.
(Not letting decal touch the surface).
3) Hold the decal opposite the tape hinge
And pull taught and close to the application surface.

4) Start closest to the hinge and squeegee the graphic
against the surface, overlapping your strokes
and moving across the graphic pushing the air away
from the applied area as to not trap any air.
