1. Use a tape measure or ruler to determine the exact area where the lettering will be placed. Make sure your surface is clean and smooth – vinyl lettering will not adhere easily to stucco or brick like surfaces or surfaces with fabric. Your words can be cut apart and placed as you like. They can be put onto or arranged around windows, doors, and on most wall paper. Clean the surface well with any normal wall cleaner, or soap and water. Then wipe surface dry. Placing the piece lightly onto the surface will allow you to better plan your layout. 2. Some lettering will come rolled because of the packaging, unwrap the quote and let it sit flat until it stops rolling back up. The vinyl lettering has a transfer tape (looks and feels like scotch tape) on the front side and backing paper (white and shiny) on the back side. Before peeling the back paper off, use an application squeegee to rub (burnish) the surface of the transfer tape to insure the lettering is adhering to the transfer tape
3. Turn over the lettering and carefully peel the backing paper away from the lettering. All lettering should remain on the transfer tape. The quotes can not be repositioned, so be careful to line them up first. Place the taped lettering onto the pre-measured surface.
4. Using an application squeegee carefully press any air bubbles out from underneath the words, rub the entire surface, applying more pressure over the entire area.
5. Carefully peel back the transfer tape, and re-rub any areas that don't transfer to the surface. This will leave the lettering fixed to the surface. After the lettering is on the surface, lightly run your fingers across the letters (Very Gently) to ensure they adhered to your surface.
6. IMPORTANT NOTES: Allows fresh paint to cure 2-3 weeks before application. Surface must be at least 50 degrees. When applying take your time, the lettering and tape can be put back onto the backing. Once the lettering is on the wall it cannot be moved. Vinyl wall lettering is very easy to apply, and easy to remove. |  |
