DECALS REPLACEMENT
Removal
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.
Installation
There are 2 types of decals used on watercraft. One
has a protective film on back side and the other has
a protective film on both sides. They are used on 3
types of materials; plastic, gelcoat and metal.
DECALS HAVING A PROTECTIVE FILM ON
BACK SIDE ONLY
These decals usually contain written information
(ex.: warning) and are used on gelcoat or metal.
Clean surface with a good solvent such as ACRYLI-
CLEAN DX 330 from PPG or equivalent (refer to
manufacturer instructions).
Using a pencil and the decal as a template, mark
the area where decal will be located.
Remove half of the decal back protective film and
align decal with marks. Start sticking it from center
and remove the other half of the film to stick it
completely. Carefully squeegee decal beginning at
center and working outward using, firm, short,
overlapping strokes.
DECALS HAVING A PROTECTIVE FILM ON
BOTH SIDES
These decals usually contain graphics and are used
on gelcoat or plastic.
WARNING
Recommended torques and use of Loctite
must be strictly followed.
