Clean hands thoroughly to prevent any dirt/oils from adhering to the surface of the decal. Also clean the area where decal will be applied thoroughly with window cleaner and wipe dry with a lint-free cloth. ***Note*** Do Not allow the backing paper that is against the decal to get wet!!! If backing paper gets wet, you will not be able to remove the decoration from it and it will be ruined.
Spray cleaned glass "very" liberally (Wetter is always better) with water or glass cleaner before applying decoration. A substantial amount of moisture is required between the decal and surface to give an even appearance once fully dried. Never install on a dry surface.
With dry hands, peel the decal from the backing paper. Lightly spray the back side (shiny side) of decal with water or glass cleaner. This will prevent it from clinging to itself and aid in its application. REMEMBER it is necessary to place the side of the decal that is against the backing paper to the glass. It will not adhere on etched side! If patterns are to face one another and, left & right designs are not available, apply one to the interior and one to the exterior of the surface.
Place the shiny side of the decoration against the wet surface and then position it by sliding and moving into the desired location. Using a rubber-tipped squeegee, plastic driver's license or credit card (making sure there are no rough edges), work from the center outward and squeegee out "all" the excess air and moisture. Then, wipe dry with a lint-free cloth
If any tiny bubbles appear between the decal and the surface, repeat Step 4, making sure to thoroughly wet the "surface" again and squeegee "all" of the moisture out. Any excess moisture should evaporate within a 24 hour period.
PLASTIC WINDOWS: Interior application is recommended. Please check with the window manufacturer before applying window cleaner to any plastic surface. If window cleaner cannot be used, a very light soapy water solution is recommended for application and installation.
TINTED WINDOWS: Your decoration may give a more desirable appearance on the exterior surface, especially if the tint is dark. This has no adverse effect on your decoration.
GENERAL INFORMATION
If, at any time bubbles occur (bubbles appear as little white dots), simply peel back the area affected and re-apply. Bubbles that are visible only from the glass side are due to insufficient moisture during application. Spray a generous amount of window cleaner to wet the glass and material before you squeegee.
It is always a good idea to keep the backing sheet the decal came on should you wish to remove it from the glass and store for future use. Do not roll it up against itself without the backing sheet. Also, do not attempt to put it back in the packaging, tube or plastic, it came with; just roll loosely and store without creasing it.
