FITTING AND APPLICATION

 

 

A fitting service is offered if required but the following method is suggested should you wish to undertake this yourself.

  1. Ensure the surface is completely clean, grease and wax free by thoroughly cleaning firstly with hot soapy water followed by methylated spirits.
  2. Mark the required position for text (chinograph pencil is easily removed from most surfaces)
  3. Add one or two drops of washing up liquid into water in a spray bottle and mist the application surface with this mix.
  4. Carefully peel away the backing paper from the lettering/logo strip exposing the adhesive and mist with water then apply. The film of water will allow re-positioning.
  5. When correctly positioned, squeegee down firmly removing any air and water from behind the lettering/logo.
  6. After a short time (to allow the water to drain) gradually peel away the premask paper leaving the lettering/logo on the surface you have applied it to. (Especially in cold temperatures it may be better to leave this operation for up to 30 minutes to facilitate easier removal.)
  7. To ensure perfect adhesion and removal of any remaining water or air it is sometimes necessary to gently warm the lettering/logo with a hot air gun or hair dryer.
    (Be sure not to heat up the vinyl too much as to damage it.)
  8. Allow a minimum of 24 hours for the adhesive to cure, to ensure a full bond has developed (particularly important for marine applications.)

FOR BEST RESULTS

  • Only apply at air temperature between 5°C to 27°C (40°F to 80°F) and to a cool dry surface.
  • DO NOT fit vinyl to an area newly painted. Paintwork must be left until cured and hardened.
  • When applying the vinyl be careful not to overstretch it. Never cut the vinyl on the application surface, always cut away from the surface by taking vinyl to blade.
  • You must allow 72 hours before submersion, washing or waxing.

LETTERS & LOGOS DO NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR VINYL INCORRECTLY APPLIED.
