Instructions for Application
and Removal of Stickers

You can download the pdf on the right or read the application instructions below:

The sticker usually will be sent to you with three parts to the sandwich:
• The backing
(the paper with the manifacturers marks)
• The vinyl sticker
• The lift-off/application paper

If the sticker is a solid shape (not cut out shapes/letters) it may not be supplied with lift-off paper (it can be peeled off in one go).

Preparation

Clean the area to be applied. Ensure it is dust free.

For larger stickers mix a few drops of washing-up liquid with water in a plant sprayer. This is sprayed on the surface prior to application to allow repositioning and remove air bubbles.

Application

First remove the lift-off paper and vinyl sticker together from the backing sheet. Take care not to leave any vinyl on the backing sheet.

Tip: it may be easiest to place the sticker backing sheet upwards and remove the backing sheet by pulling back slowly at a sharp angle.

Spray the area to be applied with water as stated in the second paragraph.

Place the lift-off paper and vinyl sticker on to the correct postion and press lightly to make contact. using a credit card, or similar flexible card. Rub from the centre outwards to diperse any air bubbles (or water if used) and ensure adhesion.

When you are happy that the sticker is well adhered remove the lift-off paper slowly at a sharp angle (back on itself). Take care that all the vinyl is adhering to the surface.

Tip: you may need to wait half an hour or so if you have used water before doing this.

Finally, check all the vinyl is stuck down and rub down any parts that have lifted up with a soft cloth.

Removal of old stickers & vinyl

1. Remove sticker: use a heat gun or hair dryer to soften the vinyl, then slowly pull back the vinyl at a 45° angle.
