How to Apply Your UVDTF Decal

1. Get the Surface Ready
Make sure the spot you’re sticking your decal on is clean, dry, and at room temperature. A quick wipe-down to remove any dust, grease, or fingerprints will help it stick much better.

2. Stick It On

• Gently peel the clear sheet (A) away from the backing (B) — your design will stay on the clear sheet.

• Line it up exactly where you want it.

• Start pressing it down from the middle and work your way out to the edges to help prevent bubbles.

3. Smooth Out Bubbles

• Use your fingers (or a soft squeegee/credit card) to press firmly from the center outward, pushing out any little air pockets.

• Try to use even pressure so the whole design sticks properly.

• Be gentle to avoid scratching the design or damaging the surface.

4. Peel Off the Clear Layer

• Once it’s fully stuck down, slowly peel off the clear film at a low angle.

• Check as you go — if any part starts to lift, press it back down and continue peeling.

✨ Pro Tips for Best Results

• Best Surfaces: Smooth, hard, non-porous surfaces like glass, metal, plastic, or coated wood work best.

• Avoid Curves: Flat areas are ideal — decals may wrinkle or lift on heavily curved surfaces.

• Temperature Matters: Try to apply indoors at room temperature. Extreme cold or heat can affect adhesion.

• No Rubbing Alcohol Needed: A simple wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth is enough — strong cleaners can reduce stickiness.

• Let It Cure: Once applied, let your decal rest for 24 hours before washing or handling to make sure it’s fully bonded.

• Handle With Care: These decals are durable, but gentle hand-washing (if on drinkware) will help them last longer.
