Step 1: Clean the surface. Removing any dirt or oil from the surface is very important. Making a clean surface will allow the decal to adhere properly. Leaving dirt or oil behind will cause the decal to adhere to them, rather than the wall. Remove dirt and oil for best application. Remove dirt with a damp sponge. Use a small amount of soap to remove oil. Be sure the wall is dry before placing the decal. Step 2: Place the decal. Placing the decal requires accuracy and focus (I advise creating guidelines on wall where you want to place decal). Stick the decal to the wall. Remove the covering that protects the adhesive side of the decal. Line up the decal with your guideline. Carefully stick the decal to the area you have selected. Work slowly and take your time to ensure accuracy. Step 3: Finalize the application. Using a squeegee (or tennis ball), smooth the surface and remove any air bubbles that may be present. Leaving air bubbles can cause an uneven finish and improper adherence to a surface. Work from the middle and move outwards. Always push air bubbles outwards towards an edge to remove them. Aim for as smooth a surface as you can. Step 4: Remove the paper backing. Paper backing protects the face of your decal, but now it's time to unveil your new decal. Removing the paper backing will let you see the final and full effect of the decal on your space. Peel paper backing from decal SLOWLY (this is the KEY to success) and carefully. Dampen the paper with water OR heat paper overlay with hair dryer if you are having trouble removing it. If the decal pulls off with the paper backing, stop, and carefully reapply that area. You can use a clear adherent like Mod Podge to seal in your decal and keep it in place, if you ever notice it starting to curl or lift off the wall (usually only needed for heavy textured walls or if you did not prep your walls properly before applying graphic).
