How To Install a Vinyl Decal

Step One: Clean & Dry Surface

Clean the intended surface with a light cleaning agent, like warm soapy water or rubbing alcohol. Using an absorbent paper towel, dry off the surface, and be sure not to leave any paper bits behind.

Step Two: Tape the Decal to the Surface

Next, grab your masking tape and use it as a temporary adhesive to hold the decal in place, like a decal seatbelt.

Step Three: Level & Measure Decal

Once you have the decal secured to the intended surface, use a line of text as a place to measure from, and level off the decal.

Step Four: Peel & Cut the Bottom Half of the Backing

Peel back and cut off the bottom half of the decal backing.

Step Five: Apply the Decal to the Surface

Using your squeegee, or similar object, press and apply the decal to the intended surface beginning on one side and working your way in a zig-zag pattern to the other side of the decal. Take your time working your way across the decal, otherwise air bubbles can occur.

Step Six: Remove the Tape

Once the decal is smooth and bubble-free on the surface, gently remove the masking tape seatbelt.

Step Seven: Peel & Remove the Top Half of the Backing

Carefully peel off the top half of the decal backing.

Step Eight: Press and Apply

Using your squeegee or similar flat-edged object, press and use pressure to slowly apply the decal to the surface with the same zig-zag motion as before. Take your time to avoid air bubbles. You are now done with your dry decal installation!
