What surfaces are recommended for installing decals or vinyl?

When you install vinyl, applying it to the right kind of surface makes all the difference, because the product needs a surface it can readily adhere to. Smooth, clean, non-porous surfaces give the strongest, longest-lasting bond.

• Best results: smooth, flat, non-porous surfaces such as glass, painted metal, sealed painted walls, and finished plastic
• Prepare first: the surface must be clean, dry, and free of dust and grease
• Harder surfaces: rough, textured, porous, or flaking surfaces resist adhesion and shorten the life of the graphic
• Temperature: apply within the recommended range so the adhesive can grab
