SURFACE PREPARATION
The surface must be cleaned thoroughly to remove any wax, dust or other contaminants.
Do not use white spirit
STEP 1

Lay decal face up on a flat surface and firmly squeegee over the entire decal to ensure that the application paper is adhered to the graphics correcty.


STEP 2

Put a piece of masking tape on each end of your decal as shown and use a tape measure to position the graphic.
Anchor each end to the application surface  with the masking tape.



STEP 3

Carefully peel the application mask back to lift the decal away from the release liner.
Sometimes the letters ( graphic)  does not want to lift away from the liner, and remains stuck to it.
Watch carefully for this! If you see it happening, you must stop , back up, and press the application paper against the stubborn  letters (graphic ) piece with your finger.



STEP 4

Stop peeling the decal short of the  hinge, and cut away the exposed half of the release liner with scissors or scalpel.
Do not tear it, as you want as clear a cut  as possible. Discard the removed liner.


STEP 5

Begin to squeegee the decal onto the application site, starting in the centre, working toward the free  edge.
Use short strokes, and keep anought tension on the mask to hold the rest of the decal away from the surface, and prevent air from being trapped beneath the decal.
W ork all the way to the free edge of the mask.


STEP 6

Remove the vertical centre hinge masking paper and repeat  STEP 3 , 4 , 5 on the other half of the decal.


STEP 7

Firmly squeegee the entire decal. Use overlapping strokes, vertically, horizontally and diagonally to thoroughly burnish the graphic into the application surface.


STEP 8

Careffully peel the application mask at a sharp angle as shown.Watch for  letters (graphic ) pieces that have not adhered to the application surface, and are lifting with the mask.
If this happens, you must back up and re-squeegee that area, or firmly press the graphic onto the application surface through the mask. Remove the entire mask.


STEP 9

Inspect the dacal for edges that are not fully adhered and press them into place with your finger.
Bubbles may be removed by piercing them with a fine needle and pressing out the air with your finger. Do not squeegee after removing tha mask or scratching will result.
