Our eco-solvent stickers and decals are designed to withstand the elements, making them weatherproof, waterproof, and UV resistant. Follow these steps for a successful application.
Materials Needed
- Eco-solvent sticker or decal
- Clean cloth or paper towel
- Ruler or measuring tape
- Squeegee or credit card
- Spray bottle with water (optional)
- Mild soap (optional)
Step-by-Step Application
-
Choose the Surface:
- Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Ideal surfaces include glass, metal, plastic, and painted walls.
-
Clean the Surface:
- Wipe the area with a clean cloth to remove dust and grease. For best results, use a mild soap solution and let it dry completely.
-
Measure and Mark:
- Use a ruler or measuring tape to determine the placement of your sticker or decal. Lightly mark the corners with a pencil for guidance.
-
Peel the Backing:
- Carefully peel the backing off the sticker or decal. If it’s large, consider using a helper to hold it in place.
-
Position the Sticker:
- Align the sticker with your marks and gently place it on the surface. If using a spray bottle, lightly mist the surface with water to allow for repositioning.
-
Apply the Sticker:
- Starting from the center, use a squeegee or credit card to press the sticker down, working outwards to remove air bubbles. If you used water, the sticker will adhere as it dries.
-
Remove Air Bubbles:
- If air bubbles remain, gently lift the edge of the sticker and use the squeegee to push the air out towards the edge.
-
Final Touches:
- Once applied, check for any remaining bubbles and smooth them out. Allow the sticker to set for at least 24 hours before cleaning or exposing it to moisture.
