Setup: Decal Application Instructions

Follow these steps carefully for optimal adhesion and appearance of your vinyl decal.

1. Очистіть поверхню: Thoroughly clean the application surface (e.g., car window) with rubbing alcohol or a mild glass cleaner. Ensure the surface is completely dry and free of dust, dirt, grease, or wax.
2. Prepare the Decal: Place the decal face-up on a flat surface. Using a squeegee or a credit card, firmly rub across the clear transfer tape to ensure the vinyl adheres well to the tape. This is called "burnishing."
3. Peel the Backing: Carefully peel the white paper backing away from the clear transfer tape at a sharp angle. The vinyl decal should remain attached to the clear transfer tape. If any part of the decal sticks to the backing, press the backing back down and re-burnish.
4. Apply the Decal: Position the decal on your desired surface. Once placed, it is difficult to reposition. Start from one edge and slowly press the decal onto the surface, using your squeegee or credit card to smooth it out and prevent air bubbles.
5. Remove Transfer Tape: Once the decal is fully applied and smoothed, slowly and carefully peel the clear transfer tape away from the decal at a sharp angle. If any part of the decal lifts with the tape, press the tape back down and re-burnish that area.
6. Остаточна адгезія: Allow the decal to cure for 24-48 hours before washing the vehicle or exposing it to extreme conditions.
