Sticker and Decal Application Tips

All decals and stickers sold here are self-adhesive 'peel & stick' type products, and are extremely simple to apply. Here are some guidelines that may assist you in the application of your graphics;

1 - Ensure that your chosen surface is a suitable one. Please practise common sense and do not decide to stick the decal or sticker anywhere dangerous or anywhere that might cause harm to yourself or the item you are customising. The stickers and decals can be applied to most clean and smooth surfaces such as glass, metal, plastic and fibreglass - but DO NOT apply the decal to engine parts or any other place that becomes hot.

2 - Use an appropriate cleaner to make sure that you are working on a grease/dust free surface. The surface should be dry, and out of direct sunlight.

3 - Your hands should be clean and grease free. When you peel the backing off the decal or sticker, handle it as little as possible, before lining it up to the desired position. Stick it from one point first, and rub it on as you stick it down bit by bit, taking special care to rub out any air bubbles. If you find that you have some air bubbles that cannot be smoothed out, often they can be popped with a pin, and the edges rubbed down. A squeegee or plastic card (credit card style) is also useful for applying decals.

WET APPLICATION - LETHAL THREAT DECALS ONLY - "Clean the surface where you will apply the decal. Use window cleaner, soapy water or rubbing alcohol to prep the surface, and dry with a lint free cloth. Surface temperature should be 55F to 70F, and not in direct sunlight. Get a spray bottle, fill with water and add two to three drops of dish washing detergent, shake bottle to mix solution. Spray a light mist of the fluid on the desired location where you will apply the decal. With clean hands, peel the sticker from the backing paper, do not let the decal stick to itself. Position the decal in the misted desired location, using a squeegee or straight edge, rub the decal from the center out pushing out any trapped fluid and air bubbles."

"For a custom look, some of our customers trim the excess clear border with a razor blade or X-ACTO knife and then apply the decal. We do not guarantee your results if you clear coat over our decals."
