How to use Decorato.co.uk?
1.Clean and dry the application surface.
2. Mark the desired decal position.
3.Keeping fingers away from the adhesive, peel backing paper approximately 1" from the top of the decal. Fold down and crease the backing paper.
4. Align and apply the decal starting at the top. Remove the backing paper a little bit at a time, and squeegee as you go. Use firm, overlapping strokes with the squeegee, stiff cardboard or clean cloth.
5. If air bubbles occur, puncture with a pin or needle and smooth down with the squeegee. If air bubbles are not removed completely, adhesive will turn white from air entrapment.
6. EDGE SEALING
Sealing the edges of the decal will provide maximum durability under difficult exposure conditions. Edge sealing is always recommended where severe exposure to gasoline and low molecular weight oils are to be encountered. A varnish type formulation or clear top coating formulation recommended by the supplier of the particular decal ink being used may be applied around the edges of the decal with a small brush or felt wick applicator.
7. REMOVAL
The decal can be removed by inserting a sharp knife or razor under a corner of the decal and peeling the film very carefully. The decal may not peel completely, but should remove in fairly decent size strips. Any residual adhesive that might transfer to the application surface can be removed by picking with the pressure-sensitive side of the removed label. If this proves unsuccessful, a mild solvent may be used or prolonged soaking in solvents such as toluol or xylol may be performed. (Check with paint dealer to be sure the solvent does not attack the surface.)
