How to apply your cut vinyl stickers

Your stickers arrive stuck to backing film and covered with an application sheet, follow these simple steps to apply your stickers to the intended surface.

What you will need

• A clean cloth
• A bottle of glass cleaner or other mild detergent
• A spray bottle of water and washing up liquid solution (for larger stickers)
• An old credit card (the squeegee)

---

• Step one: prepare the surface

Using a mild detergent clean the surface to which you wish to apply the stickers carefully. Remove unwanted dust and grime and dry with a lint free cloth.

• Step two: peel away the backing film

Lay the sticker down on a flat surface. Carefully peel away the backing film so that the sticker is now attached to the application (transfer) sheet only. The sticky side will be exposed.

• Step three: apply the sticker

For small logos and stickers simply align the sticker carefully and smooth it out with your hands to apply it. Once in position it cannot be moved, so use great care. Go over the surface with your credit card, paying particular attention to the corners and small details.

For larger logos and lines of text, ask a friend for help and use the wet method. This involves spraying the surface with a mild water and washing up liquid solution before attempting to position the sticker. The wet method will give you a little freedom to adjust the position a little without damaging the vinyl. squeegee the water out from the centre of the sticker and then wait about 10-15 minutes for the sticker to dry.

• Step four: remove the transfer sheet

Carefully and slowly peel off the transfer sheet, If you have any air bubbles by using a pin, pop any bubbles that may have appeared and smooth them over.
