Decal Application

Here's a step-by-step video: scroll through the post for each step. (Your decal backing might look a little different—the clear film backing follows the same rules.)

How to Apply Your Decal

 

You’ll need:

• A clean, dry surface
• Rubbing alcohol or mild cleaner
• A plastic card (or squeegee) 
• Scissors 

Steps:

1. Clean the surface.
   Wipe down your surface with rubbing alcohol or a gentle cleaner. Let it dry completely.
2. Prep your decal.
   Use a squeegee or card to press over the clear transfer film to ensure the decal sticks well.
3. Trim if needed.
   If your design has extra space or is being applied to a curved surface, trim around the edges.
4. Peel the backing.
   Slowly peel off the paper backing, making sure the decal stays attached to the clear film.
5. Apply the decal.
   Carefully place the decal on your surface. Start from the center and press outward to avoid bubbles.
6. Press and smooth.
   Firmly rub the decal with your squeegee or card to make sure it adheres well.
7. Peel the transfer film.
   Slowly peel away the clear film. The decal should stay behind. If any part lifts, press it down and try again.

Tips:

• Best applied at room temperature
• Wait 24 hours before using
• Not recommended for rough or porous surfaces

For helmet application:

• Get an idea of where you want your decals by using double-sided tape to temporarily position them before applying.
• Carefully use an exacto knife to cut clean lines where helmet holes are.
