Wall Quote "Direct Method" Application Tutorial
Before application, clean desired surface with a clean rag to remove contaminants and other debris. Use a measuring tape or ruler to determine the exact position where your new vinyl sticker will be placed and if you'd like, make a light mark with a pencil to use as a guide.

Before removing the backing paper, rub firmly with the application squeegee over the top of the transfer tape to reactivate the adhesive and ensure the vinyl will adhere to the transfer tape. |

If applying a small quote by yourself, gently touch the corners of the transfer tape to the wall. If you have help, hold it in place just off the wall and proceed to the next step. |

Starting from the middle, firmly rub one side of the quote or art with the application squeegee. Then repeat the process on the other side. |

Trouble Shooting
"Some letters won't release from the backing paper"

 |
 |
Though this problem does sometime occur with small, scripty letters or fine details,
it is almost always solved by following the tutorial instructions above.
Be sure the design is face down as you remove the backing paper.
If you still have trouble, just lay the transfer tape back down, rub over the area again with the application squeegee, and try again. If your design still won't come up, please give us a call and we will be happy to help or send a replacement if necessary.
"Some letters won't stick to the wall, or won't release from the transfer tape"

The secret is to remove the transfer tape slowly. If a portion of your design does not release from
the transfer tape (1), lay that part of the design back down on the wall and rub with the squeegee
or
your finger (2) and then try again to peel the tape away from the wall (3), moving slowly.
