Peel-and-Place
Sticker
Tools Required:alcohol,
soapy water, credit card, and a pin.
-
Remove
all dirt and oil from the area where the decal will be placed.
Alcohol works great.
- Wet the area with
a small amount of soapy water.
- Peel the backing
paper off of our decal.
- Place the decal
on the soapy area starting at one end and slowly rolling the decal
onto to the surface.
- Slide your decal
into the position you want.
- Rub thoroughly
with the edge of a credit card, starting at the center working outward,
pushing the soapy water out. Continue until your decal is firmly
stuck in place.
- Pop any bubbles
that are left with a pin.
To
remove your decal, use citrus cleaner, lifting a bit of the decal and
spraying under it as you go. Be patient and go slow! The citrus cleaner
will help to neutralize the adhesive and make it easier to get your
decal off and the surface clean.

Clean
the area where the decal will be placed. Alcohol works great.
- The decal will
be visible thru the transfer paper. SLOWLY separate and peel the
protective backing paper from the transfer paper which carries
the graphic. Keep an x-acto knife handy, as your decal may want
to stay stuck to the backing paper. In that case, use your knife
it to help lift away the edge of the graphic from backing paper,
then rub the transfer tape on that area again before continuing
on.
- Slowly roll
the transfer paper with exposed graphic onto the surface and begin
to lightly rub down vinyl EVENLY from CENTER, from top to bottom
until you reach the end.
This
is your big opportunity to avoid bubbles and creases by going
SLOWLY and applying EVENLY!!!
- Rub down firmly
with fingers.
- Now use the
credit card to slowly but firmly rub graphic onto the surface,
so that transfer paper will separate from graphic.
- SLOWLY pull
away transfer paper at a sharp angle, (because it will want to
resist!)
- Pop any bubbles
that are left with a pin.
- Use left-over
piece of backing paper to shield your vinyl from direct contact
with credit card to rub out bubble or even out crease.

the bubble with a pin or x-acto knife with surgical precision.
