1. Prepare surface by cleaning
thoroughly with soap and water.
Surface must be clean and free of dirt,
grime, rust and oil. To clean oily
surface, wipe with clean cloth and
solvent cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
2. Position the decal on the tube and
apply masking tape along the top,
creating a gate hinge. Figure A
demonstrates.
3. Remove backing paper from decal 6”
from the top and use the squeegee to
adhere decal to the tube, as seen in
Figure B. Start at the top center of the
decal and work your way outward both
left and right using overlapping
strokes.
4. As you work your way down the decal,
peel back the backing paper 6” at a
time. Repeat Step 3 until the entire
decal has been applied to the tube.
See Figure C as an example.
5. Once the entire decal has been
properly adhered to the tube, remove
tape hinge from front of decal. Remove
the front application tape at a sharp
180° angle.
6. Inspect the entire decal for air pockets; if found, remove them by punching a
tiny hole with a pin and then squeegee the surface flat.
7. As a final process, squeegee the corners and edges of the decal to ensure
proper adhesion and to prevent premature peeling.
