HOW TO APPLY THE DECALS
Our line of Lethal Threat decals are simple "Peel 'n Stick" type decals. For our smaller size decals we recommend a dry application. For our tank decals, or large decals, you can use the dry application or a wet application method. Instructions for both types of applications are below.
DRY APPLICATION
Clean the surface where you will apply the decal. Use window cleaner, soapy water or rubbing alcohol to prep the surface, and dry with a lint free cloth. Surface temperature should be 55F to 70F, and not in direct sunlight.
With clean dry hands, peel the sticker from the backing card. Try to handle the decal as little as possible, only holding by edges.
Line up the sticker how you would like it. Attach the bottom part of the sticker to the surface, using a sqeegee or credit card, rub the rest of the decal onto the surface.
If you do have any air bubbles trapped, use a pin to make a small hole and rub until all bubbles are out.
WET APPLICATION
Clean the surface where you will apply the decal. Use window cleaner, soapy water or rubbing alcohol to prep the surface, and dry with a lint free cloth. Surface temperature should be 55F to 70F, and notin direct sunlight.
Get a spray bottle, fill with water and add two to three drops of dish washing detergent. Shake bottle to mix solution. Spray a light mist of the fluid on the desired location where you will apply the decal.
With clean hands, peel the sticker from the backing paper. Do not let the decal stick to itself.
Position the decal in the misted desired location, using a squeegee or straight edge, rub the decal from the center out pushing out any trapped fluid and air bubbles.
For a custom look, some of our customers trim the excess clear border with a razor blad or X-ACTO knife and then apply the decal. We do not guarantee your results if you clear coat over our decals.
