How to Apply Vinyl Wall Decals
- Prior to applying vinyl decals, clean the wall and make
sure it is dry and free of dust or dirt.

- Freshly painted walls should be allowed to “cure” for 10
to 15 days prior to applying vinyl decals. Even if new paint
feels dry, it may still need to settle and completely cure.
Applying decals to freshly painted walls may cause the
adhesive to lose its effectiveness, which can then cause
the design to peel or fall off.

- Peel the design away from the liner and stick it to your
surface of choice.

- Remember to save your liners - if you want to take down
your decals for an extended period of time, placing them
back on the liner will keep them sticky and ready to re-
apply whenever you’re ready to decorate again.

- It’s always best to test your decals in an inconspicuous
area before applying. If the surface is textured, wet, dusty,
or dirty, performance could be seriously diminished.

- Larger designs, like giant wall decals, may require the
use of a wallpaper seam roller to ensure that all edges of
the design make contact with the wall, and that the design
will stick firmly without lifting away from the surface.

- When you're applying a wall decal (especially our larger
designs), be very careful to keep the decal from sticking
to itself, or sticking to another piece. If this does happen,
though, just stay calm! Slowly pull the decal apart, taking
care to avoid ripping the design. With a little patience and
a steady hand, you'll be back to normal in no time.

- It is not recommended that you use vinyl wall decals on:
”orange peel“ textured walls,
brick, cinder block, or other porous surfaces,
wallpaper or delicate surfaces,

Vinyl Decals can be applied to tiles as long as the surface
is clean and completely dry during installation. Make sure
the design does not overlap any grout, as water could
filter beneath and compromise the adhesive.
