Preparation
1. Ensure the area is clean, dry and free
from dirt by wiping with a slightly damp cloth and then let the area dry for at
least a few hours before you begin applying the decals.
Freshly painted walls
must be left for at least 2 weeks before application; if your wall sticker is
to be fitted on a wall where the other side of the wall is external you
must wait 4-5 weeks before application.
2. If you have multiple stickers on one sheet
you may wish to separate them to make the task more manageable.
3. Roll the sticker(s) out on a flat surface.
Make sure the sticker is flat on the surface using the palm of your hand to
ensure there are no creases or bubbles visible.
Important Notes:
Taking your time when
applying the stickers will achieve the best results. Make sure everything is in
position before removing the backing layer as the adhesive layer below is very
sticky.

The Steps
1. Lay the sticker
out on the surface, with the transparent application layer facing you. Tape all
four corners of the sticker to the wall with your masking Tape.
2. Apply a strip of
tape across the wall sticker to create an anchor point (Horizontally or
vertically depending on shape of the sticker).
3. Once the sticker
is anchored, remove the tape from the two top corners.
4. Begin to
carefully peel the application layer from the backing layer, ensuring the
sticker is stuck to the application layer. Keep peeling until you reach the
anchor point.
5. Cut the backing
layer as close to the central divide as possible.
6. Use your credit
card or squeegee to stick the sticker (and application layer) to the
surface, being careful to remove all bubbles. Start from the middle and work
outwards, moving up slightly as you go along.
7. Wait a few
minutes for the adhesive to attach the sticker to the wall then remove the
anchor tape and repeat steps 6-8 on the opposite side.
8. Wait 10 minutes
then peel back the clear paper ensuring Vinyl sticker is fully adhered to your
surface. (Peel back slowly to ensure wall paint doesn’t come off with the
clear paper)
