1.16 INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLYING THE
TRANSFERS
When removing parts from the frame:
WARNING
Handle all plastic and painted components with
care to avoid scraping or scratching them.
Work very carefully.
Do not damage the tabs and/or slots into which
they are fitted.
When applying the transfers, carefully follow the
instructions given below.
We recommend using the following tools:
- relatively stiff spatula (1);
NOTE
Generally speaking, soft squeegee-type
spatulas do not remove enough water from under the
transfers.
- sponge or spray bottle (2) with water.
NOTE
Add a bit of detergent (1-3%) to the water,
and shake to create bubbles.
Proceed as follows to apply a transfer:
Š
Place the transfer (3) upside-down on a work
surface.
Š
Keeping the transfer spread flat on the work
surface, remove the backing paper (4) completely.
NOTE
We recommend using a spray bottle (2).
If using a sponge, sponge the surface without
pressing, to keep from ruining the glue.
Š
Wet the surface of the adhesive with soapy water.
Š
Apply the transfer (3) to the surface to be decorated
and move it to the desired position.
NOTE
Always move the spatula in even strokes,
from the center of the transfer out.
Š
Using the spatula (1), press down fairly hard and
move the spatula across the surface of the transfer
until all excess soap and water has been removed
from underneath.
NOTE
Do not lift the corners and/or sides of the
transfer.
Š
Use an absorbent cloth and, working from the
center out, dry the transfer.
Š
Move the spatula over the transfer again with firm,
even strokes, pressing down as hard as possible.
Move the spatula in strokes from the center out,
being especially careful at the corners and sides, to
ensure that the entire surface adheres evenly.
