Magnetic Sign Care and Tips
“When all else fails...Follow the Directions” |
| |
Surface
Preparation
Be sure the application surface is clean and free of dirt,
oils and grease. Clean with soap and water, dry surface,
wipe with alcohol. In any outdoor application, such as car
signs, the metal surface should be waxed.
Application
Magnetic
sheeting holds best to flat surfaces and surfaces reasonably
curved in one direction.
When the magnet is placed in the wrong position, remove
magnet and re-position. DO NOT pull magnet to re-position
when it is against the surface , as the magnet may stretch
due to resistance caused by the high magnetic strength and
also may scratch the application surface.
Make sure the entire magnet is against the metal surface
- no air pockets.
Cleaning
Some moisture
and dirt will collect between the magnet and metal surface,
particularly in outside applications (car signs).
Remove and clean both the magnet and surface with mild detergent
and allow both to dry. For car signs, repeat this process
weekly.
To protect the new clear coat / base coat and vinyl surfaces
present on new cars and trucks we recommend daily removal
of magnetic signs.
Storage
The magnet is more pliable and easy to work with when it
is at room temperature when applied.
The best way to store magnetic signs or material is either
flat or on a roll, never magnet to magnet.
Tips
Waxing the back of the magnet helps prevent dirt from scratching
the magnetic side of the magnet or sign.
If
your magnet has a bend in it from laying on a non-flat surface,
try sticking the magnet on the side of your laundry dryer.
The heat will help the magnet conform back to its original
flat surface.
Store
multiple magnets with cardboard between them.
