FAQ

I have textured walls and my decal won’t stick, what can I do?

It could be one of two things. Your decal might of been made for a smooth wall. If you flip the decal over and look at the back if it says Oracal 631 it is for smooth walls. Oracal 651 is made for textured walls.

If you have Oracal 651 and it's still not sticking your wall might be dusty. Dust off the wall without getting it wet and if that doesn't work once you have the decal on the wall but have not removed the transfer tape heat up the decal with a hairdryer and press into the wall where the pieces that not sticking. This expands the stickiness of the vinyl and it will mold to the wall where you press in.


How do I place a custom order?

Here are the things we would need from you if you want us to work up a layout and pricing before hand:
+ send the text you want to use for your quote
+ the area (Height x Length) you want that text to fit in
+ the color you want to use
+ a font style you want to use or (fonts) you want to use. You can visit www.fontspace.com to pick a font.
You even have the option to type your text to preview what it will look like.

You can email all of your information to sales@drumfiregraphics.com 


Will your decals stick to wood?

Yes it will. The smoother the better though. Sometimes when applying to wood the wood will be rigged. If you are working with a rough piece of wood apply The decal to the wood and then take a heat gun or hair dryer once the decal is on the wood. Heating up the decal will activate the sticker material to expand and mold to the texture of the wood. If your wood is rough we recommend you choose "textured wall" for your order. This material is more aggressive.


Will your decals stick to glass?

Yes they will.


Can you cut your decals “Reverse Cut” where the sticker material is on the inside of the glass facing outside so people can read what it says?

Yes, just be sure to tell us that while ordering. If it's not a custom order you can email us at sales@drumfiregraphics.com to give us a heads up on your order.


Can I apply my wall sticker to freshly painted walls?

No. Wait at least three weeks before applying your decal to a “just painted wall”. This gives the paint time to fully dry. If you do or already have applied your decal to the wall don’t worry, the only issue you might have is when you remove the decal from the wall it might pull some of the paint off of the wall when removing it. The decals we use are made to be removable vinyl without damaging the wall but if the paint isn’t fully dry that can be a issue. If your wall is textured regardless we have to use a stronger material and it will peel the paint off once you remove it.


Can I apply my sticker to a mug or water bottle?

We have tested this and it seems to work even though it’s really not suppose to. The vinyl that is used is a removable wall vinyl and not a permanent vinyl but because most mugs and bottles are clean and smooth it will attach aggressively to the surface since it’s a smooth surface. We recommend not putting it in the dishwasher because of the extreme heat but just hand washing it in hot water will work just fine.


Are these wall stickers made for outside use?

We have a outdoor sticker material but it is not our standard decal. When ordering a decal just say it is for a textured wall. Our textured wall material we use a more aggressive outdoor vinyl that can last for up to 5 years outdoor.


Do you have to apply each letter one by one to the wall?

No you will not. The way it is transferred to the wall without installing
each letter individually is by using transfer tape. When you receive your decal
it will have transfer tape on the front of it so you can transfer
the entire decal to the wall in one fell swoop. Check out this part of our site for more details: https://www.walldecalstudios.com/pages/installing-wall-art


Do your decals have a clear film where there is no colored text in the layout?

No it does not. Everything you’ll get will be individually cut. So once you have the decal applied to the wall you’ll be able to run your hand across it and feel the texture of each letter. Whatever is not the decal will be the actual wall. The way it is transferred to the wall without installing each letter individually is by using transfer tape. When you receive your decal it will have transfer tape on the front of it so you can transfer the entire decal to the wall in one fell swoop. Check out this part of our site for more details: https://www.walldecalstudios.com/pages/installing-wall-art


Can you do full color decals or printed decals with pictures?

Yes we can. On our full color decals they will not adhere to textured walls. The material we use is for smooth surfaces only. This includes smooth walls, glass, wood, vehicles and anything that is smooth.


Can you do 2 color wall stickers?

We can, but we would need to know what you are looking to do before we can give the green light. It might cost just a little more than a normal decal as well because we have to piece it together.


Are your decals removable and reusable? Can I move my decal off the wall to another location?

It depends on the product. Here is a breakdown of what we can do:

Smooth Walls: it's removable but not reusable. Some companies say you can reuse Oracal 631 but it is extremly hard to do and we don't recommend it.

Textured Walls: it's not really removable and will pull up the paint on your wall when you uninstall it. It is also no reusable.

Wall Prints: wall prints are made out of a removable vinyl. If you have your wall print on the wall for a year or so you can still move it and readjust it to another wall. The longer the wall print is on that wall it will bond to the paint. Let's say you leave it on the wall for 7 years. You might pull up some paint with the decal.
