Vinyl Decal Instructions
How to apply vinyl decals and transfer stickers.
There are lots of methods depending on the size of the decal and the surface it is going onto. Before anything else you need to ensure the surface is clean and free of grease, grime and dust. Vinyl is a very thin material and even a spec of dust between it and the surface can show though your finished work.
Applying your custom vinyl decal is actually pretty easy and we send our infamous 4 step guide with each and every order, but to get you off to a good start...
Make sure your chosen surface is clean and dust free
Rub over the decal with your squeegee or credit card to ensure all parts of the design are sticking to the transfer tape.
Turn your decal over and carefully pull the backing paper away, starting in the corner and pulling it right back on itself instead of upwards.
If bits of your design lift with the backing paper drop it back into place and rub over some more.
Once the backing paper is removed carefully lay your design stick-side-down onto your surface.
Rub over the transfer tape gently at first and then a second time but more firmly. Your objective is to push the air out to the sides and have a nice flat finish.
Carefully remove the transfer tape i the same way you did the backing paper.
Your decals now finished and should look awesome.
Extra tip - If you have a large decal and it is showing 'bubbles' of trapped air then use a pin to prick each bubble and gently push down the vinyl to push the air out.
