Vinyl Application

The tape that covers your graphic is the transfer tape and will remain on the graphic until step #7 in order to hold the graphic in place until it is attached to the applied surface. The vinyl adhesive will stick harder than the transfer tape. Remove the tape once the graphic is attached firmly to the applied surface. See more below...

1. Clean surface with a cleaner that leaves no wax remove dirt, grime, and bugs. (Alcohol, dishwashing soap, and window cleaners.)

2. Without removing the paper backing, position decal on window exactly where you want it.


3. Once the decal is in position, place a piece of masking tape along the top edge to hold the decal in place.
 

4. The decal should be sitting on your window like a flap. Lift up the decal from the bottom and remove the paper backing working from a corner slowly being careful not to leave vinyl on the wax paper.
 

5. With the backing paper completely removed from the decal & transfer tape, gently lower the decal with the transfer tape back down to the surface of the glass and rub it down lightly with your hand. Rub from top where the tape is applied to the bottom to remove air from underneath the vinyl.
 

6. Take a squeegee or credit card and firmly rub the decal down to the glass. The transfer tape should still be on the decal. This allows you to rub the decal down without scratching or damaging the decal.
 

7. Finally, peel off the transfer tape and masking tape gently. The decal will adhere to the surface much more aggressively than the transfer tape. The transfer tape should lift easily leaving behind no sticky residue.
 

8. Your decal installation is complete. If there are bubbles present under the decal that cannot be removed by working them to the edge, a small needle or pin can be used to puncture the bubble and remove the air. Place the pin hole near the edge of the bubble and use your finger to gently press out the air towards the pin hole. A small pin hole will not be seen after the air bubble has been worked out.
