Decal Application
Decal Removal
1. Mark decal location before removal to assure
proper alignment of new decal.
2. Carefully soften decal and decal adhesive with a
heat gun or heat blower while removing old decal.
3. Clean decal contact area with a 1:1 mixture of iso-
propyl alcohol and water.
4. Thoroughly dry decal contact area and check for
a completely cleaned surface.
Instructions for “Wet” Application
NOTE: The following decal installation instructions
are provided for a “Wet” installation. All decals
should be applied wet.
TOOLS REQUIRED
1. Plastic Squeegee*
2. Stick Pin
3. Dish Washing Liquid/Detergent without am-
monia** “Joy” and “Drift” are known to be com-
patible for this process.
* * Automotive Body Filler Squeegee
** Do not use a soap that contains petroleum based
solvents.
SERVICE TIP: Placement of decals using the
“Wet” application will allow time to position de-
cal. Read entire installation instructions on this
technique before proceeding.
TEMPERATURE
IMPORTANT: Installation of vinyl decals should
not be attempted while in direct sunlight. Air and
surface temperature should be between 60
°
F
(15
°
C) and 100
°
F (38
°
C) for best application.
SURFACE PREPARATION
IMPORTANT: Do not use a soap or any petroleum
based solvents to clean application surface.
Clean entire application surface with mild dish wash-
ing liquid and water. Rinse surface thoroughly with
clean water.
DECAL APPLICATION
1. Mix
1
/
2
ounce (16 ml) of dish washing liquid in one
gallon (4 l) of cool water to use as wetting solu-
tion.
NOTE: Leave protective masking, if present, on the
face of decal until final steps of decal installation. This
will ensure that the vinyl decal keeps it’s shape during
installation.
2. Place the decal face down on a clean work sur-
face and remove the paper backing from “adhe-
sive side” of decal.
3. Using a spray bottle, flood the entire “adhesive
side” of the decal with the pre-mixed wetting solu-
tion.
4. Flood area where the decal will be positioned
with wetting solution.
5. Position pre-wetted decal on wetted surface and
slide into position.
6. Starting at the center of the decal, “lightly”
squeegee out the air bubbles and wetting solu-
tion with overlapping strokes to the outer edge of
the decal. Continue going over the decal surface
until all wrinkles are gone and adhesive bonds to
the cowl surface.
7. Wipe decal surface with soft paper towel or cloth.
8. Wait 10 - 15 minutes.
9. Starting at one corner, “carefully and slowly” pull
the masking off the decal surface at a 180
°
angle.
NOTE: To remove any remaining bubbles, pierce the
decal at one end of the bubble with stick pin and
press out the entrapped air or wetting solution with
your thumb (moving toward the puncture).
