INSTALL GUIDE
Follow these steps for a clean, bubble-free install every time. Takes about 10–15 minutes.
Before you start, grab these: isopropyl alcohol (70%+), a microfiber cloth, a squeegee or credit card, and a heat gun or hair dryer. That's all you need. Let's get it.
Clean the surface
Wipe down the area with isopropyl alcohol and a microfiber cloth. Get rid of any dust, oil, or dirt. This is the most important step — if the surface isn't clean, the decal won't stick properly. Let it dry completely before moving on.
Plan your placement
Before peeling anything, hold the decal (still on its backing) against the surface to figure out exactly where you want it. Take your time here — measure if you need to. Mark the position lightly with a piece of tape if it helps.
Peel the backing
Slowly peel the white backing paper away from the decal. The decal should stay stuck to the clear transfer tape on top. If part of the decal starts to come off with the backing, press it back down and peel more slowly at a lower angle.
Apply the decal
Starting from one edge, lay the decal onto the surface. Don't slap it all down at once — work slowly from one side to the other to avoid bubbles. Use your squeegee or credit card to press it down firmly as you go.
Squeegee it out
Once it's down, go over the entire decal with your squeegee using firm, overlapping strokes from the center outward. This pushes out any air bubbles and ensures full adhesion. Apply some heat with a hair dryer while doing this for best results.
Remove the transfer tape
Wait 5 minutes, then slowly peel the clear transfer tape off at a low angle (almost parallel to the surface). If any part of the decal starts to lift with it, press it back down and apply more heat before trying again.
Final press & done 🔥
Give the entire decal one last firm press with your squeegee. Apply heat one more time and let it cool — this locks in the adhesive. That's it, you're done! Avoid washing for 48 hours to let the adhesive fully cure.
Pro Tips
- Cold weather makes vinyl stiff — work indoors or warm the decal before applying
- Tiny bubbles often disappear on their own within a few days in the sun
- For stubborn bubbles, poke them with a pin at an angle and press flat
- Avoid applying in direct sunlight — the adhesive sets too fast
