Topic: Decal installation instructions

• Application:

Lay the decal along with the transfer tape, and backing flat against the surface that you wish to apply it to. Once the decal is in the position you desire use a piece of masking tape on each end to hold it in place. Now, leaving one edge of the decal taped to the surface, remove the other edge and fold the decal away from the surface, so that the backing is facing you. Carefully remove the backing making sure the decal (and all of it's parts) is firmly attached to the transfer tape. Once the backing is removed, carefully fold the decal back onto the surface in a rolling motion. The transfer tape will keep the decal together, and aligned with itself. Once the entire decal has contacted the surface, with the transfer tape still attached, rub the decal onto the surface with a squeegee, your fingers or a credit card to remove any bubbles and to insure good adhesion all over entire decal. The transfer tape allows you to firmly rub the decal without damaging it.

When the decal has been completely applied to the surface, gently peel away the transfer tape. The decal will adhere to the surface much more aggressively than the transfer tape and the tape should peel away freely leaving no residue.

If there are bubbles present under the decal that cannot be removed by working them to the edge of the decal, a small pin or needle can be used to puncture the bubble and remove the air. A small pin hole will not be seen after the air bubble has been worked out.

The application of vinyl decals is not terribly difficult but it is best to work carefully and slowly. Don't try to rush the process or you could mess it up and ruin your decal. Once applied the decals cannot be repositioned, so take your time. It is also critical that the decals be applied at the correct temperature (between 60 & 80 degrees Fahrenheit). If the decal is applied at temperatures below 60 degrees they may not adhere properly. If the decal is applied at temperatures above 80 degrees air bubbles may form under the vinyl after it's applied.

Can I add some obvious instructions ?  I'm going to anyway

If decal is to be added to backglass, take the window out and put it on a table.

If you want to put it across the top of your windshield it's real easy if you have a sunroof.

I used the lower defroster line as a reference when applying decal. Nice and straight :thumb:

I missed the most obvious instruction for applying a decal, can you guess what it is ?

Jeff & Chris. Just in case you missed this post.

Do this when applying decal. It will come out nice and straight. (Use bottom defroster line). If you go any lower than that, decal will be behind the glass seal.
