Each decal has three pieces:
1. The top layer is the transfer tape.
2. The middle layer is the vinyl decal.
3. The bottom layer is the backing paper.

Aligning and Centering Vinyl Decal:
Measure where you want the decal to be applied. About 2” above and below the outside of where the decal will actually be placed, apply a piece of masking tape as wide as the decal, making sure it is level. You may also do this to the left and right of the decal. You will use this masking tape as a reference to make sure your decal is aligned properly.

Application using the Wet Transfer Method:
Mix a gallon or so of water with a few drops of dishwashing liquid. Use a spray bottle and wet the area where decal is to be applied. Trim away the transfer tape so that the tape is about (within 1/2") the size as the decal. Remove the backing and place the decal, still attached to the transfer tape, to the thoroughly wetted surface. The decal can now be moved and repositioned correctly, as it will slide on the thin film of solution trapped between the vinyl decal and the surface. If you are doing a windshield decal and need to curve the letters, cut the tape between the letters about 3/4 of the way from top to bottom with a knife and position the letters where needed. DO NOT cut all the way through as this will mess up the spacing between the letters. When the decal is in the final location, use a small squeegee to squeeze the water and soap solution out from under the decal. The transfer tape will protect the decal during this process.

Caution!
Be sure to squeegee as much solution as possible from under the decal. Take your time, because if not enough solution is removed from under the decal, it will not adhere to the surface enough to allow the easy removal of the transfer tape. Although a squeegee is the recommend tool, the water can be also removed using the fingers, or a soft cloth. When finished with the squeegee, the transfer tape can be carefully removed. Work the decal with your fingers, and a soft, absorbent cloth around the edges to remove any remaining solution. Warm weather is best for this application. If there are bubbles present under the decal that cannot be removed by working them to the edge of the decal with your fingers, then a small pin or needle can be used to puncture the decal at the bubble, and remove the air. A small pinhole will not be seen after the air bubble has been worked out with the fingers.
