  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.
