Step-by-step application

Prep the Surface:

Clean and Glossy surfaces are where it’s at for sticking decals— The smoother, the better

Cut the Decal:

Whip out your hobby knife or tiny scissors and cut that decal tight—smooth edges are best, so keep it neat!

Soak the Decal:

Dunk it in tiny dish of warm water for about 10-20 seconds—enough time to recite your favourite verse

Apply to Surface:

take it out of the water with tweezers and gently slide it onto the surface. If its being stubborn, roll over the decal with a damp paintbrush or cotton tip

Position the Decal:

While it’s wet, get it in the right spot, use the damp brush or cotton tip to nudge it into place.

Remove Water & Air:

Dab it down gently from the centre, outwards, with a dry cotton tip to squeegy out that extra water and remove any air bubbles

Let it dry

Let the decal dry for 2mins before applying the clear coat to make sure it doesn't rip or move out of position.

Seal your Style:

slap on 2 layers of a good quality clear coat, like icing on a cake!
