Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Surface Preparation: Clean the surface thoroughly with a degreaser. Ensure it is dry and free from dust or debris.

  3. Repositioning: If you make a mistake, gently peel the vinyl back and reposition it. The low-tack adhesive allows for easy adjustments.
  4. Heating (for curves & edges): A hairdryer can be used to heat the vinyl to make it more pliable, helping it to conform to curved surfaces.
  5. Care: Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  6. Compatibility: Suitable for most smooth, non-porous surfaces. It is not recommended for rough or textured surfaces.
