DECALS
Removing a Decal
Using a heat gun warm up one end of decal for a
few seconds until decal can roll off when rubbing
with your finger.
Pull decal slowly and when necessary apply more
heat to ease removal on the area that has to be
peeled off.
If decal tears while pulling off, it has to be heated
for a few seconds longer. If decal tends to stretch
while pulling off, stop heating and wait a few sec-
onds to let it cool, then peel it off.
Installing a Decal
Using isopropyl alcohol, clean the surface and dry
thoroughly.
Apply liquid soap to new decal and carefully posi-
tion it. Using a sponge or a squeegee, remove the
air bubbles and surplus water working from the
center toward the edges. Allow to air dry.
NOTICE
Do not apply isopropyl alcohol or
solvent directly on decals. Use these products
in a well ventilated area.
