Why not once you have them fitted share a picture of your decals on our facebook page.
DO NOT APPLY IF THE SURFACE TEMP IS LESS THAN 15 DEGREES C.
USE A HAIR DRIER TO WARM THE AREA BEFORE APPLICATION IF YOU ARE UNSURE. IF YOU ARE HAVING ANY PROBLEMS PLEASE CONTACT US.
Step 1
Clean the area thoroughly with detergent and water (e.g. Fairy Liquid). Do not use Windolene or similar products because it may leave a residue behind that will prevent the sticker from adhering well. The area must be DRY! The area has to be clean to rub, i.e when you pass you hand over the surface it is smooth.
Step 2
Prepare the sticker for application by firmly rubbing a squeegee or credit card across the clear transfer tape. This removes any air bubbles that may have formed and makes the sticker cling to the transfer tape.
Step 3
Peel the sticker away from the white paper backing. If the sticker clings to the backing, slowly replace the paper backing and repeat Step 2
Step 4
As you will see from the picture you are then left with 2 parts, the sticker with the application tape and the backing paper this can be discarded.
Step 5
Slowly lower the sticker onto the surface and rub it in place firmly with a squeegee or credit card.
Step 6
Slowly peel the clear transfer tape off at an angle.
Be careful not to pull the sticker off the surface. If sticker pulls away from the surface, carefully replace the application tape and repeat Step 4.
As you will see from the picture you should be left with 3 parts, the sticker applied to the surface, the application tape and the backing paper. These can be discarded. If you are not left with the two discardable pieces,
re-read the above steps.
*Use a pin to poke any air bubbles in the centre and push the air out through the hole.
*For best results do not apply a sticker in extreme hot or cold temperatures. .
If you are used to a wet application feel free to apply them that way.
In the first few weeks after applying your decals please only lightly wash them, DO NOT PRESSURE WASH THEM.
Please Note – We are not responsible for incorrectly applied stickers/decals. If you are unsure of anything GET IN TOUCH!
When applying to walls/plasterboard etc, please ensure the wall paint has properly cured before application.
For best results on large decals we recommend the “wet” application method. This can be tricky and the process can be seen on youtube. Or you could have a local sticker shop apply them for you.
