-
1Prep the Surface Area Where Your Decal Will Be Applied.
Clean Surface Of Product With Alcohol Swab Or Soap And Water And Let Dry Completely. -
2Separating the backing sheet from the clear transfer carrier
SLOWLY peel the backing off your decal at a 45 degree angle. Your decal should remain on the clear transfer carrier. If any of your decal remains on the white backing sheet, repress with the clear carrier to make it stick and pull from a different side. The smaller the details in your decal, the slower you will need to separate the backing from the carrier. The larger the design, the less careful you will need to be. -
3Placing the decal on your item
Fold over a corner of the clear carrier so you have an edge to pull from. Lay down your decal starting from one side and ending at the other. Press firmly on the area of your decal to promote adhesion between your decal and the product. -
4Removing the clear transfer carrier
SLOWLY peel the clear transfer carrier from your product, starting with the corner you previously folded over. While peeling back, move your hand to re-grip the excess carrier as you go - aiding in a more controlled peel. If your decal pulls up on some elements, lay the carrier back down, rub the area, and try pulling from another side.
