Step 1: Preparing Surface
Surface must be clean and free of dirt, grease, and wax. Use glass cleaner and a dry cloth to remove dirt and grease.
Notes: Newly painted surfaces must be aged at least 36 hours. Pressure sensitive graphics will not adhere to porous surfaces such as concrete, unpainted wood, or wallboard. Painted surfaces must be oil based paint (latex paints may cause adhesion problems).

Step 2: Positioning Graphics
With a pencil draw horizontal and vertical guidelines in the area you wish to apply your graphic.

Step 3: Remove Graphic from Wax Liner
Turn graphic face down on a surface that is free from dirt and grease. With the graphic face down, carefully peel the wax liner away.

Step 4: Apply Graphic
Place the taped graphic on the prepared guidelines. Firmly squeegee the graphic to force the bubbles out. Start in the center and work your way out. It is very important to provide firm even pressure with the squeegee. Be careful to avoid wrinkles and bubbles by squeegeeing a small area with a firm overlapping stroke.

Step 5: Remove Premask Tape
After the graphic has been applied, remove the premask tape by peeling it back slowly at a 180 degree angle to the surface.

Step 6: The Finished Product
If an air bubble should appear, simply puncture it with a pin and squeegee lightly to remove the air.
