Before you start
What you'll need
Soap & water
Lint-free cloth
Squeegee or card
Pin (for bubbles)
Installation
Step-by-step
Clean the surface
Wipe down the area where you'll apply the decal with soap and water, then dry completely with a lint-free cloth. Remove any grease, dust, or wax — these will prevent the decal from sticking properly.
Position the decal
Peel back a small corner of the backing paper to check placement before committing. Use tape to temporarily hold the decal in place if needed. Take your time — measure twice, apply once.
Peel and apply
Slowly peel away the backing paper at a low angle while pressing the decal onto the surface with your squeegee or card. Work from the center outward to push out air bubbles as you go.
Squeegee firmly
Once applied, go over the entire decal firmly with your squeegee or a flat card, pressing from center to edges. This ensures full adhesion and removes any remaining air pockets.
Remove the transfer tape
Slowly peel back the clear transfer tape at a low angle. If the decal starts to lift with it, press it back down and squeegee again before continuing.
Pro tip
Peel the transfer tape back over itself at a 180° angle — almost parallel to the surface — for the cleanest release.
Deal with any bubbles
Small bubbles often work themselves out within a few days, especially in warm weather. For stubborn ones, use a pin to make a tiny hole and press the air out with your finger.
Heads up
Avoid applying decals in cold temperatures (below 50°F / 10°C) or in direct sunlight on a hot surface — both affect adhesion. For best results, apply indoors at room temperature.
