Surface Preparation
Use a tape measure or a ruler to determine the exact area where the quote will be placed. We recommend drawing a light horizontal guide line or use small pieces of masking tape. Make sure the surface is clean and smooth. The TYPE can be cut apart and stacked in rows, put on an angle, or arranged around and on windows, doors or on most wallpaper. Taping them lightly in place first will help you plan your lay-out.
Prepare Words
Some TYPE will come in rolls because of the length. Unwrap the TYPE and let it set flat until it stops wanting to roll its self up. The TYPE have a transfer tape (looks and feels like white masking tape) on one side and backing paper (grid) on the other. Before peeling the back paper off, burnish (rub) the surface of transfer tape to insure the TYPE is adhered solidly to the transfer tape. (Letters may pullaway from transfer tape during delivery)
Application
The TYPE can not be repositioned, so be careful to line them up where you want them. Place the taped TYPE on the premeasured surface, using the lines to position the vinyl correctly onto the surface (with the backing still on). A level can also be useful. If you have a long TYPE, some times its easier to install if you cut in between every couple of words, while the TYPE is taped to the wall. That way you’re dealing with smaller sticky areas. Then flip up the TYPE and carefully peel the backing paper away from the TYPE which should remain on the transfer tape. The tape acts as a hinge so the TYPE will fall back down where you want it. Smooth it flat with your hand. Using the plastic burnisher that comes with your TYPE, carefully rub any air bubbles out from underneath the words. Burnish again, apply more pressure over the entire area.
Transfer Tape Removal
Carefully peel back the transfer tape.This will leave the TYPE on your surface. Enjoy your new look and the inspiring TYPE. When your ready for more TYPE or just ready to paint, usually a pair of tweezers will pull the TYPE off or if they've been on for a while, get out your hairdryer and lightly heat up the TYPE and they will peel off with ease. Sometimes after a couple of years the removal will leave a slight residue which can be removed with rubbing alcohol.
