How To Apply A Small Sticker or Vinyl Decal with Transfer Tape
Step 1
Clean the area thoroughly with rubbing alcohol or soap and water. Avoid using Windex or similar products because it will leave a residue behind that will prevent the sticker from adhering well. Make sure the surface is dry.
Step 2
Prepare the sticker for application by firmly rubbing a squeegee or credit card across the masking tape, or clear transfer tape. This removes any air bubbles that may have formed and makes the sticker cling to the transfer tape.
Step 3
Peel the white paper backing off the sticker. If the sticker clings to the backing, slowly replace the paper backing and repeat Step 2.
Step 4
Slowly lower the sticker onto the surface and rub it in place firmly with a squeegee or credit card allowing the sticker to adhere to the surface. Generally you will work the squeegee from the middle of the design out to the edges. This works best for removing air bubbles.
Step 5
Slowly peel the clear transfer tape off at an angle. Be careful not to pull the sticker off the surface. If sticker pulls away from the surface repeat Step 4.
If the sticker needs to be gone over again to assist it in laying flat, using a squeegee or credit card, place a soft cloth on top of the card or squeegee when going directly over the vinyl. This will prevent scratches.
*For best results do not apply a sticker in extreme hot or cold temperatures.
Once sticker makes contact with a surface it attaches and cannot be repositioned.
