Troubleshooting
Decal not transferring properly
Ensure you have removed the white backing sheet completely. Rub the decal firmly and evenly with the stick, applying consistent pressure. Make sure the surface of the decorated object is smooth and dry.
Plastic film is difficult to remove
Try to lift a corner of the plastic film gently. If it's sticking, ensure you have rubbed sufficiently with the stick. You may need to rub again before attempting to peel. Peel slowly and carefully at a low angle.
Decal is creasing or wrinkling
Ensure the surface of your decorated object is smooth and taut. For curved surfaces, try to position the decal as flatly as possible before rubbing, and use the stick to smooth it down gradually.
Decal appears faded or patchy
This may occur if the rubbing was not sufficient or if the decal was not fully adhered. Ensure you rub thoroughly with the stick. For larger decals, work in sections.
