Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust and grease. Any imperfections on the surface will be visible through the vinyl.
  2. Application: Carefully peel back a small section of the backing and apply the vinyl to the surface, smoothing out any air bubbles with a squeegee or similar tool.
  3. Repositioning: If necessary, gently peel back the vinyl and reposition it. The water-based adhesive allows for easy adjustments.
  4. Cutting: Trim the edges with a sharp knife or blade for a clean finish.
