Installation Guide for Wet Application Stickers

MATERIALS NEEDED

    • Soap solution or Window cleaner
    • Alcohol 70%
    • Clean microfiber cloths
    • Squeegee
    • Application Solution (100ml of Water mixed with 3-5 drops of Baby shampoo)
    • Heat gun or hairdryer (optional)

    STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION
      1. Prepare the Surface:
        • Cleaning the surface: Use a soap solution or a window cleaner to clean the surface where the sticker will be applied. Remove any dirt and oils with Alcohol 70%.
        • Spray the Surface: Spray the application solution on the surface. This allows for easier repositioning.
      2. Position the Sticker:
        • Spray the application solution: Spray the application solution on both sides of the Sticker. This prevents scratches during the application process.
        • Sticker Positioning: Carefully place the pre-cut sticker over the surface, ensuring it aligns properly. Adjust the positioning as necessary.
      3. Apply the Sticker:
        • Use a Squeegee: Gently use a squeegee to push out water and air trapped under the sticker. Be careful to avoid scratching the sticker.
        • Use the Right Technique: Start from the center of the sticker and work your way outwards to push water and air bubbles out, rather than dragging the squeegee from one edge to another.
        • Handling Bubbles: If you encounter water bubbles or not a smooth area, lift the sticker back in that specific area, spray it again, and repeat the application process.
      4. Final Touches:
        • Wipe Down: Use a soft cloth to gently wipe down the sticker, ensuring a smooth finish.
        • Inspect the Installation: Check for air bubbles or edges lifting. If necessary, use the squeegee or a needle to release trapped air.
      5. Allow to Dry:
        • Drying Time: Allow the stickers to dry for at least 24-48 hours without exposing it to water or harsh conditions to ensure optimal adhesion.
      TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS

        • Work in a Clean Environment: Dust and debris can affect adhesion, so choose a clean workspace.
        • Temperature Matters: Applying the stickers in a controlled environment around 15° C to 32°C (70°F to 90°F) is ideal for better adhesion.

        MATERIALS NEEDED

          MATERIALS NEEDED

          • Soap solution or window cleaner
          • Clean microfiber cloths
          • Paper tape
          • Squeegee
          • Scissor
            STEP-BY-STEP INSTALLATION
                1. Clean the Surface
                  • Thoroughly clean the area where the sticker will be applied using a soap solution or window cleaner. For optimal results, remove any dirt and oils with 70% alcohol.
                2. Position the Sticker
                  • Align the sticker according to your desired layout and secure it in place with paper tape.
                3. Peel the Backing
                  • Carefully cut and peel off half of the backing paper from the sticker.
                4. Apply the Sticker
                  • Using the squeegee, press the sticker onto the surface, starting from the center and working your way outward to eliminate air bubbles.
                  • Once half of the sticker is applied, gradually remove the remaining backing paper while continuing to press the sticker down.
                  • If your sticker comes with transfer paper, carefully remove it after the sticker is applied.
                5. Smooth Out Air Bubbles
                  • Use the squeegee to push out any remaining bubbles, directing air toward the edges. For stubborn bubbles, gently puncture them with a razor blade to release trapped air.
                6. Allow to Set
                  • Let the sticker adhere properly for at least 24 hours. During this time, avoid exposing it to water or harsh conditions.
                7. Final Inspection
                  • After the sticker has set, check for any areas needing further smoothing or adjustments.
                TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
                • Temperature: Ideal application temperatures are between 60°F and 90°F (15°C to 32°C).
                • Avoid Direct Sunlight: Install stickers in a shaded area to prevent the adhesive from drying too quickly.
                • Patience is Key: Take your time to ensure proper alignment and a smooth application.

                Troubleshooting Tips for Sticker Installation

                TIPS FOR INSTALLATION
                    1. Air Bubbles:
                      Cause:
                      • Air trapped underneath the sticker during application.
                      Solution:
                      • Use a squeegee or credit card to push bubbles toward the edges.
                      • For stubborn bubbles, gently poke with a pin to release air and smooth it down.
                    2. Misalignment:
                      Cause:
                      • Sticker not positioned correctly before adhesion.
                      Solution:
                      • If the sticker is not yet fully adhered, gently peel it back and reposition it.
                      • Use a soapy water solution for easier repositioning if it’s still in the initial stages.
                    3. Poor Adhesion:
                      Cause:
                      • Surface not cleaned properly or too much moisture.
                      Solution:
                      • Clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol to remove grease and dust.
                      • Ensure the surface is completely dry before application.
                    4. Sticker Wrinkling:
                      Cause:
                      • Applying the sticker too quickly or without enough pressure.
                      Solution:
                      • If wrinkles occur, carefully peel back the sticker and reapply, smoothing it out as you go.
                      • Use a squeegee to apply even pressure.
                    5. Sticker Not Sticking:
                      Cause:
                      • Surface is too cold or dirty.
                      Solution:
                      • Ensure the area is within the recommended temperature range 15°C to 32°C (60°F to 90°F).
                      • Clean the surface thoroughly.
                    6. Damage to the Sticker:
                      Cause:
                      • Using excessive force or improper tools during application.
                      Solution:
                      • Handle stickers gently and use appropriate tools like a squeegee. If damaged, consider replacing the sticker.
                    7. Difficulty Removing Backing:
                      Cause:
                      • Sticker design may cause the backing to stick.
                      Solution:
                      • Gently roll the backing away from the sticker instead of pulling straight back.
                      • Warm the sticker slightly with a hairdryer to loosen the adhesive if necessary.
                    ADDITIONAL TIPS

                    • Practice Patience: Take your time during installation to avoid mistakes.
                    • Temperature Check: Ensure the application area is warm and dry for optimal adhesion.
