How To Install Your Wall Decal
Posted by Mike Gholson on
Here's how to install your custom wall decal.
Things you'll need before you get started:
1 ) Instructions (included)
2 ) Painters Tape
3 ) Scissors
4 ) Squeegee(included)
5 ) Xacto Knife (optional)
1.) Position your wall graphic
on your wall where you plan to
place it. Your decal is cut down
as a rectangle for easy measuring
if need be. Secure your wall decal
with masking or painting tape at the top
of the wall graphic.
(The tape acts as a hinge for
the project.) You can see your wall
decal through its semi-transparent
transfer tape.
2.) After your wall graphic is hinged with tape
at the top take another piece of painters
tape and apply a piece vertically all the
way down the graphic.
3.) Peel off the painters tape you applied on
the top of the graphic (running from left to
right). Be sure the vertical piece of tape is still
secured.
4.) PEEL BACK PAPER BACKING
Flip the wall decal sheet
to the side and slowly peel off
the bottom paper backing layer.
Take a piece of tape and
let the decal rest on the transfer
tape. (If parts of the decal
want to stick to the backing,
slowly manipulate the
backing to help the decal
to stick to the top layer.)
(TIP) Using a Xacto Knife helps if
the sticker backing is sticking to
the paper while pulling it off.
5.) CUT PAPER BACKING OFF
6.) APPLY GRAPHIC TO WALL
Apply graphic to the wall.
1. Hold the transfer tape tight
and straight.
2. Use the squeegee to apply the
graphic to the wall.
*Work from the left to the right
making upward, downward
motions.
7.) PEEL BACK PAINTERS TAPE
Peel off Painters Tape
REPEAT STEP #6
on the other side
8.) PEEL OFF TRANSFER TAPE
Carefully peel off the sticky
top layer of Transfer Tape.
9.) YOU’RE A ROCKSTAR DECAL INSTALLER!
You’re all finished up, now
enjoy the view of your new
wall decal.
