VERY IMPORTANT-DO NOT APPLY THESE DECALS LIKE THE ONES FROM YOUR CHILDHOOD...YOU WERE DOING IT WRONG THEN!

1.     DIP DECAL IN ROOM TEMPERATURE WATER FOR NO MORE THAN 2 SECONDS. (REMEMBER, TWO SECONDS, NOT TWO MINUTES)

2.     NEXT PLACE DECAL ON A SMOOTH, CLEAN COUNTERTOP AND DO NOT TOUCH FOR FIVE (5) MINUTES...ALLOW DECAL TO ROLL IF IT WANTS TOO

3.     APPLY DECAL AND BACKING TO CLEAN SURFACE. ALIGN TO CORRECT POSITION AND THEN SLIDE BACKING OUT FROM UNDER THE DECAL.

4.      DIP YOUR FINGER IN WATER AND SMOOTH OUT ALL AIR BUBBLES UNDER THE DECAL. ALLOW DECAL TO DRY A MINIMUM OF 24 HOURS AT ROOM TEMPERATURE BEFORE HANDLING.  DECAL WILL DRY CLEAR. DO NOT TOUCH OR MOVE DECAL UNTIL 24 HOURS HAVE PASSED.

5.     NOTICE, NO WHERE IN THESE INSTRUCTIONS DOES IT SAY: "PUT WATER ON SURFACE"....THE GLUE WOULD BE "THINNED" WITH THE EXTRA WATER...BAD!

6.     DO NOT USE A HAIR DRYER.

7.     DECALS WILL NOT STICK TO MOST POWDERCOATS. MICRO-SET DECAL SOLUTION WILL HELP, BUT THEY STILL MAY FAIL.
