How to Install your Vinyl Lettering or Decals (Interior or Exterior)

1. Prepare Your Surface: For best results, pre-measure the location for your lettering, using a level and ruler. Use masking tape to position lettering temporarily. Mark position with a pencil. Make sure surface where lettering will be applied is clean, dry and smooth.

2. Prepare Vinyl Lettering: The letters have a clear or white transfer tape on one side of the lettering and backing paper on the other side. With the tape side facing up, firmly rub over the transfer tape with a credit card, squeegee, or plastic spatula to insure that the quote is adhered to the clear tape. Some air bubbles are okay, as long as lettering is adhered to the tape.

3. Remove the Backing Paper: Turn wall lettering over so that the tape is facing down and the backing is facing up. Slowly peel backing paper away from the lettering and sticky transfer tape at an angle. If any letters stick to the backing instead of the tape, push back down on that section until it is adhered to the tape, then continue pulling the backing paper off.

4. Apply Tape to Surface: LIGHTLY position sticky ends of tape with lettering on the desired surface (wall, mirror, tile, board, etc). Gently adjust the position of the lettering if needed. Smooth the letters and tape against the wall using your fingers. (Note: Vinyl will stick very quickly to glass, metal, or mirrors, so it will not be possible to adjust it once it has been placed. Be very careful before you place it on the glass or mirror! It helps to have another person assist you!)

5. Adhere Lettering: Firmly rub over lettering with a credit card, squeegee, or plastic spatula to transfer to desired surface. Carefully rub out any air bubbles starting from the center and work your way out. Use a pin to pop any stubborn air bubbles and rub over with spatula.

6. Remove Transfer Tape: Slowly peel off the transfer tape at an angle, re-rub any lettering that sticks to the tape and re-apply pressure to lettering. You're done!



To Install Polka Dot Wall Decals: (These do not have a transfer tape, so they are just a "peel and stick" product.)

1. Gently lift the edge of one of the polka dots with a finger nail, or bend back the backing paper to expose an edge of the dot.

2. Pull the polka dot away from the backing evenly so that it does not stretch, taking care that the vinyl does not fold back on itself.

3. Position the polka dot on the wall where you want it; for larger dots, hold the edges of the dot and place the middle of the dot on the wall first, then lay the edges down in order to minimize air bubbles.

4. Use fingers to smooth the vinyl onto the wall and into any texture on the wall. You can use a credit card or other soft spatula to push any air bubbles towards the edge of the vinyl. For stubborn air bubbles, poke with a pin and then push the air out through the small hole.
