Items Needed:
The Sticker
Squeegee -
Masking tape
Window cleaner
Tape measure or ruler
Pin or needle
Step 1.
Clean the surface area where the sticker is to be applied. Use glass cleaner
or rubbing alcohol. Application of these stickers are best at temperatures between
45 -
Step 2.
Position your sticker on the surface you intend it to be applied to. Put a piece of tape, (masking tape), on either upper corner. Use a measuring tool of some kind to square it up.
Step 3.
Apply masking tape the full distance across the top, half on the sticker, half on the surface.
Step 4.
Lift the sticker, backing and transfer tape all together. Slowly remove the
wax paper backing while holding on to the sticker and transfer tape. Be VERY careful
not to let the sticker fall into itself! -
Step 5. (IMPORTANT)
Again, holding the sticker and transfer tape taut with one hand, start from the top and middle with your squeegee, pressing firmly work outward from top/middle to top/right then top/middle to top/left. Then squeegee width down/middle to the right and then to the left. Do not skip any area as you are working your way down or you will get bubbles or even wrinkles that you may not be able to get out.
Step 6.
Go back over the entire area even more firmly now, try to go the same way you did originally.
Step 7.
Remove the hinge masking tape and squeegee upwards over that area the masking tape was covering.
Step 8.
Now remove the transfer tape, slowly starting from one corner pulling away from the surface while keeping the transfer tape you are pulling on as close to the surface area as you can. Doing this minimizes the chances of pulling up the sticker with the transfer tape.
Step 9.
With window cleaner spray the entire area and gently clean. After several days
you should be able to wash with a cloth, soap and water -
and go through Car Washes, etc...
