How to Apply a Decal Properly

Materials Needed:

• Decal

• Clean cloth or microfiber towel

• Rubbing alcohol or soapy water

• Squeegee or credit card

• Masking tape (optional)

Step 1: Prepare the Surface

1. Clean the surface with rubbing alcohol or soapy water to remove dust, dirt, and oils.

2. Dry completely with a clean cloth.

Step 2: Position the Decal

1. Place the decal where you want it.

2. Use masking tape on the edges to hold it in place.

Step 3: Peel & Apply

1. Slowly peel off the backing paper, ensuring the decal stays attached to the transfer tape.

2. Carefully place the decal onto the surface, starting from one side and pressing down gradually to avoid bubbles.

Step 4: Smooth It Out

1. Use a squeegee or credit card to press the decal down firmly.

2. Start from the center and push outward to remove air bubbles.

Step 5: Remove the Transfer Tape

1. Slowly peel off the transfer tape at a 45-degree angle.

2. If any part of the decal lifts, press it back down and smooth it again.

Step 6: Final Touches

• Allow the decal to set for 24 hours before exposing it to water or extreme conditions.
