How to Apply Your Wall Decal

Applying a vinyl wall decal takes a little patience but no special skills. Every order includes printed instructions, transfer tape and an application tool.

Before you start

  • Use a smooth, clean and dry surface: painted walls, glass, mirrors, metal or finished wood.
  • Freshly painted walls need 3 to 4 weeks to cure before applying.
  • Heavily textured walls and some washable or low VOC paints are not suitable.
  • Apply at room temperature, not in direct sun.

Step by step

  1. Lay the decal flat and rub firmly over the transfer tape with the application tool.
  2. Position the decal on the wall with masking tape and check it is level.
  3. Peel the backing paper slowly at a sharp angle, keeping the vinyl on the transfer tape.
  4. Press the decal onto the wall from the centre outwards with the tool.
  5. Peel the transfer tape slowly, folding it back flat against the wall. If a letter lifts, press it down again and continue.

Removing

Warm the vinyl gently with a hair dryer and peel it slowly. On suitable surfaces it comes off without damaging the paint. Decals cannot be reused once applied.
