Whether you're applying your custom decal to a vehicle, window, or wall

🛠️ What You’ll Need:

• • • • • • • • Clean microfiber cloth

              • Spray bottle with mild soap + water

              • Squeegee or credit card wrapped in soft cloth

              • Masking tape (optional for alignment)

              • Patience and a steady hand!

📋 Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. 1. 1. 1. 1. Clean the Surface:
               Make sure the area is dry, clean, and free of wax, grease, or dirt. Use mild soap and water, then dry with a microfiber cloth.

            2. Position the Graphic:
               Without removing the backing, place the graphic on the surface and use masking tape to align and mark placement.

            3. Peel and Stick:
               Slowly peel the backing off the vinyl, exposing the adhesive side. Apply from one side to the other, smoothing as you go.

            4. Smooth It Out:
               Use a squeegee or wrapped credit card to push out air bubbles, working from the center out to the edges.

            5. Final Touch:
               If your decal has a transfer tape layer, gently peel it off once the vinyl is fully applied and secure.

            6. Cure Time:
               Avoid washing or getting the area wet for at least 24 hours to let the adhesive set properly.
