- Ideal locations: wall, window, floor, ceilings, plastic objects (ex. water bottles, etc.)
- Inspect Surface- Texture & Cleanliness
- Avoid the following surfaces: cracks, holes, highly textured, &dirty/ greasy
- Ideal Surfaces: Smooth, Minimal, Texture, Clean (utilize soap & water or water & alcohol mixture to clean appropriate surfaces)
- Measure- Measure surface & decal/ sticker
- Measure Desired surface (area of application) prior to purchase, to ensure decal will fit.
- Size up again before application, to ensure accurate fit
- Use straight edge & a pencil to mark orientation (ends, top, bottom, & center)
- Planning Orientation- Size it Up
- Position decal in desired position w/o removing backing layer (so the adhesive isn't exposed)
