This process involves applying a cold pressure-sensitive
over-laminate to the top and a cold pressure-sensitive
mounting adhesive to the bottom of a graphic. This
process can be used to create self-adhesive images
(Decals) for mounting down onto various substrates.
After performing this process, follow the Mounting
Instructions in the manual to apply the decal to a
substrate. It is important to follow the webbing
instructions for films specific for your location.
