Step 4
If applying larger decals, i.e. greater than 12" square, it may help to moisten the surface onto which it is to be applied - this will help you position the decal exactly where you want it. Pot plant sprays are ideal for wetting. Now, peel off the protective backing from the decal, leaving it on the stuck to the transparent application paper. Moisten the graphic and place onto the surface you wish to apply to. With the aid of the water you should be able to slide the graphic into any position you want. Gently squeegee the water out from under the graphic starting at the centre and working out. The best tool for this is a vinyl applicator. |

Step 5
Once you have your decal in position, leave it for 10 minutes to allow contact time with the surface before removing the transparent application paper. Now, finish by wetting the applied graphic with your soapy water mixture. This will make it easier to remove the transfer tape and helps keep the vinyl from pulling up. Wait a few minutes and then remove the paper slowly. It works better if you start with one edge and try to maintain a 45 degree angle (pull the paper back on itself, left or right more so than pulling it towards you.) Once the paper is removed, you can pop any small air bubbles with a small needle and press out the air with your finger. Any water bubbles will evaporate within a few days. |

There you have it - perfectly fitted graphics in minutes!!!
Once complete your graphic will take up to 24 hours to completely stick, after which time, you may wash your vehicle, windows etc. The vinyl is completely waterproof and washable. NB. Avoid jet washing too close to the graphics as they may lift with excessive pressure. |
