APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

DRY METHOD:

	CLEAN SURFACE WELL TO AVOID DUST AND OIL
	WITHOUT REMOVING THE BACKING, PLACE DECAL EXACTLY IN THE POSITION IT IS TO BE LOCATED
	TAPE EVERYTHING TEMPORARILY INTO PLACE WITH MASKING TAPE
	STAND BACK AND SEE IF ITS CENTERED
	ONCE APPLIED, IT CAN'T BE REPOSITIONED
	MEASURE TWICE TO ASSURE ACCURACY, MEASURE FROM THE FLAT AREA ON NUMBERS AND LETTERS
	APPLY A PIECE OF MASKING TAPE ACROSS THE ENTIRE TOP EDGE, TO MAKE A HINGE
	FOLD THE DECAL BACK ALONG THE TAPE HINGE
	REMOVE THE BACKING CAREFULLY, SLOWLY PEELING IT BACK, REVEALING THE ADHESIVE SIDE
	DO NOT ALLOW DECAL TO FREELY TOUCH THE SURFACE
	HOLD THE DECAL AWAY FROM THE SURFACE AND WITH A VINYL SQUEEGEE, CAREFULLY BEGIN SQUEEGEEING DOWN THE TOP 1 TO 2 INCHES ALONG THE TOP EDGE. WORK FROM THE HINGE DOWN, SQUEEGEEING DOWN AND OUT OVER THE REMAINING AREA, BEING CAREFUL NOT TO TRAP BUBBLES BEHIND THE VINYL
	REMOVE THE TRANSFER TAPE SLOWLY, PEELING IT BACK FROM THE DECAL
	IF ANY BUBBLES REMAIN, POP THEM WITH A PIN AND SQUEEGEE THE AREA TO FLATTEN THE BUBBLES.

WET METHOD:

THIS STUFF BEATS
SOAPY WATER AND
"RAPID TAC"!!!

A MUST HAVE FOR APPLYING VINYL

THIS METHOD MAKES IT EASY TO APPLY LARGE GRAPHICS WITH LESS BUBBLES. TAKE YOUR TIME AND YOU'LL GET PROFESSIONAL RESULTS!

YOU WILL NEED A SPRAY BOTTLE WITH SOME SOAPY WATER, OR USE SOMETHING LIKE WINDEX OR 4009/FANTASTIC. BUT IF YOUR SMART, YOU'LL USE APPLICATION FLUID!!!

	CLEAN SURFACE GRAPHICS ARE TO BE APPLIED TO, THEN LIBERALLY SPRY SURFACE WITH APPLICATION FLUID
	THIS WILL LET YOU MOVE THE DECAL AROUND ON THE SURFACE TO POSITION IT. WE RECOMMEND IT WHEN APPLYING LARGE GRAPHICS!
	PLACE LETTERING/GRAPHIC ON THE SURFACE, FACE DOWN
	LIGHTLY SPRAY THE TRANSFER PAPER AFTER GRAPHIC IS SQUEEGEED DOWN, AND LET SIT 20 TO 30 SECONDS. THEN REMOVE THE TRANSFER PAPER LEAVING THE GRAPHIC. THIS HELPS TO RELEASE THE TRANSFER PAPER FROM THE GRAPHIC.

NOTICE FOR APPLYING TRAILER GRAPHICS

WHEN APPLYING LARGER GRAPHICS ON THE SIDES OF A TRAILER, YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH ALL THE SMALL SCREW HEADS HOLDING ON THE PANELS OF THE TRAILER. PUTTING THE VINYL OVER THESE CAUSES BUBBLES TO FORM, EVEN IF YOU SQUEEGEE THE VINYL REAL WELL. ONCE OUT IN THE SUN LIGHT, THERE IS A SMALL AMOUNT OF SHRINKAGE IN THE VINYL, WHICH WILL CAUSE THESE BUBBLES TO FORM. WE RECOMMEND YOU MEASURE THE AREA YOU'RE GOING TO APPLY THE VINYL, AND REMOVE THE SCREWS THAT WILL BE COVERED UP. THEN APPLY THE VINYL. ONCE THE VINYL HAS BEEN APPLIED, THEN SCREW THE SCREWS BACK IN THROUGH THE VINYL. THIS WAY NO BUBBLES WILL FORM, AND THE GRAPHIC WILL LAST MUCH LONGER!
