For the best results and long-lasting adhesion, follow these simple steps:
1. Clean Your Surface: Before applying your sticker, make sure the area is clean and dry. Use soap and water or a 50/50 mix of rubbing alcohol and water. A clean surface ensures your sticker bonds better and lasts longer through handling, washing, and daily wear.
2. Pre-press Your Sticker: After cutting out your design, place it face down (clear and colorful side down, white backing facing up). Press firmly across the entire design 2–4 times. For small text or fine details, apply extra pressure to make sure everything sticks cleanly to the clear carrier.
3. Peel the Clear Carrier from the White Backing: Carefully separate the clear top sheet from the white backing by making a small tear in a blank corner, away from your design. Slowly peel the clear sheet back, watching closely to ensure the full design lifts cleanly. If any part remains stuck to the backing, re-squeegee and try peeling from another angle. Take your time—slow and steady makes for a perfect peel..
4. Place Your Sticker Onto the Surface: Align your sticker carefully before applying.
- For small designs (under 4"), hold both sides and press down in one motion.
- For larger designs (6" and up), start from one side and gradually lay the sticker down across the surface to avoid bubbles or wrinkles.
- Pro tip: Leave one corner of the carrier sheet slightly unpressed to make it easier to peel off later..
5. Final Press & Peel: Once your sticker is in place, firmly apply pressure across the entire design 2–4 times, focusing on the edges and any intricate areas. Then, slowly peel off the clear carrier sheet, keeping an eye out to make sure every element sticks down. If something lifts, press the carrier back down, re-press, and peel again at a different angle.
