Upholstery Pattern Decals - Diamond Pattern Decal 3 - CLEAR

HOW TO USE:

Cut the image to the desired size and soak/moisten in water. The decal film will start to separate from the backing. This could take between 5-15 seconds. Carefully place decal and backing on application surface where you want the decal to be placed. You may moisten the application surface with water first to assist you in decal placement after application. Carefully slide the backing paper out from underneath the decal film leaving the film on the application surface. You may use a small soft brush or your fingers to assist you in holding the film in place. Smooth out decal using a damp paper towel or soft brush. Using a paper towel or soft brush, carefully dab away excess water.
If you have an extremely irregular surface or you are seeing wrinkles or air bubbles under your decal you may use a decal solution. These are more aggressive setting solutions which will cause the decal to conform and bond to the application surface. Apply a very thin coat on the decal using a soft brush. Do not apply a second coat, re-brush or touch an area of the decal where you have applied the solution. The decal will soften and start to conform; if you attempt to adjust or touch the decal during this process you will destroy the decal. You can also apply along just the edges of the decal film, this will blend the film to surface. Allow decal to dry.
Before any type of clear coating you must make sure that the decal is 100% dry both on top and underneath. It is recommended that you wait 24 hours for any remaining moisture to evaporate. You may speed up this process by using a hair dryer, do not use a heat gun. If there is any moisture present when you apply your clear coat you risk damaging the decal.

IMPORTANT:
To protect decals after application, spray over decal and application surface with a clear coating spray. You must first apply some very thin mist coats over the decal allowing it to dry each time. After you have sealed the decal with thin coats you may apply a heavier coat if you want. If you are using enamel clear coat, automotive clear coat, acrylic clear coat, urethane or lacquer you must first use a thinned out coat. If you don’t thin out the first coat it will dissolve the decal. Once the first coat has dried you may then apply a standard coat. Please make sure to request a test decal sheet and apply and test on scrap surfaces.

KEEP AWAY FROM THE MOISTURE.
