Starcraft Compatible Replacement Decals Vinyl Stickers for Boats and Outboard Motors

Vinyl Decals: Key Considerations and Application Tips

Vinyl decals are DIE-CUT, meaning they have no background. The background color shown in the picture is merely an example; the actual background will be the color of the surface on which the sticker is placed, or it will be clear if applied on a window.

A vinyl decal comes in three distinct layers:

1. Top Layer: A transparent transfer tape that holds the decal or sticker together until it is applied.
2. Middle Layer: The actual decal or sticker, sandwiched between the Application Tape and the Wax Backing.
3. Bottom Layer: The wax backing, which protects the adhesive until the decal is ready to be applied.

Application Tips:

1. Avoid applying decals on surfaces that are extremely cold or hot. The ideal temperature range is between 60°F and 90°F.
2. Do not touch the adhesive backing, as the oils from your skin can prevent proper adhesion.
3. Before applying the decal, ensure that the surface is clean and free of any wax or oily products, as this will help the sticker adhere best to smooth, clean surfaces.

Application Instructions:

1. Rub the sticker to ensure that the transfer tape is properly adhered to the sticker.
2. Clean and dry the desired application area thoroughly.
3. Slowly remove the wax backing, making sure the sticker remains adhered to the transparent transfer tape.
4. Carefully position the sticker in the desired location.
5. Rub the sticker from one side to the other, eliminating any air bubbles.
6. Use a credit card or similar object to ensure the entire sticker is fully adhered to the surface.
7. Slowly remove the transfer tape, making sure no part of the sticker remains on the tape.
8. Check for any remaining air bubbles. In most cases, these can be worked to the edge of the sticker, and a pinhole can be used to release the air, making the bubble virtually invisible.
