Installation of Decals

 

Surface Preparation

All surfaces must be considered dirty and must be cleaned prior to the application of markings. Recommended cleaning procedures for specific surfaces are listed below.

A. Plastics & Glass

Saturate a clean cloth with a 2 to 1 mixture of water and isopropyl alcohol and wipe the surface. (Cleaners such as Windex Window Cleaner may be used.) Wipe the surface dry with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth.

B. Painted Metals and Base Metals

These surfaces must be cleaned with a solvent such as: E.I. DuPont Prep-Sol Cleaning Solvent 39195, Xylol, VM&P Naptha, or Lacquer Thinner. Dry the surface with a lint-free cloth before the solvent evaporates. Freshly painted sufraces must be dried one week prior to application.

C. Interior Painted Surfaces

Paint must be dried one week prior to application of markings. Clean the area where the markings are to be applied with a household cleaner such as 409. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

Temperature Requirements

Air and application surface temperatures must be above 40°F for vinyl products and 55°F for reflective products. It is best not to apply decals when either the air or the surface is much above 90°F.
