Important tips about
stickers/transfers |
To make sure that the stickers/transfers stay on for years and not minutes you should follow the following steps
- Before you decide to start work make sure it is over 15°C, otherwise the results will be fatal! If you decide still to goahead, then at your own peril!
- The first step before you begin to applicate the sticker/transfer is to make sure that there is no dirt or water where the sticker/transfer is to be applied, after you have cleaned the area thoroughly, make sure that there is no silicon residue, grease-oil or polishing wax around the place where you are about to place the sticker/transfer. Old stickers must be completely removed (especially for the B-pillar stickers).
- When applying the new sticker/transfer make sure that no air bubbles are formed under the sticker/transfer, to remove them just gently rub from the middle outwards.If however you are appling a rather large sticker/transfer it is advisable to use a solution of 4 - 5 drops of washing-up liquid (like Fairy or Pril) in a litre of water, this solution is then sprayed onto the surface (not dripping wet), the air bubbles are easier to remove and the solution dries in a couple of hours.
- When applying the sticker/transfer from the series "Cut" make sure it is correctly positioned, the backing paper might not be cut correctly giving a false impression, check everything before application, please!
This is how stickers/transfers from the "Cut" series are applied
- First of all clean the surface that is to be used stringently
- The backing paper is then to be removed carefully leaving the sticker/transfer on the transfer foil.
-
Apply transfer foil with the sticker/transfer into place, what ever you do make sure you don't use the foil edges as reference, use the sticker/transfer as reference. Watch out for air bubbles and creases. There should be no need to tell you that quiet and patience is needed whilst applying stickers/transfers,
if you make a mistake here it will be hard to correct if not impossible.
- Now rub, not too lightly but carefully, with a bit of cheese cloth
- Now for the moment of truth, carefully remove the transfer foil, making sure that the sticker/transfer stays on the surface and not in the transfer foil, finished!
