Surface Preparation

   All surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned of wax, dirt and any old adhesive residue before applying your
   vinyl graphics to ensure proper adhesion, otherwise peeling or lifting may occur.

   Please read the instructions below for specific material cleaning procedures.

   Fiberglass Boats: Clean surface with acetone or our prefered cleaner -3M General Purpose Adhesive
   Remover (which comes in an aerosol spray can). After solvent has evaporated wipe down area with
   soapy water (a few drops of hand dishwashing liquid mixed with water in a spray bottle).

   Plastics and Glass: Wipe surface clean with a window cleaner. Remove any tape or
  glue residue with a single edge razor blade or plastic scraper.

   Painted Metals and Base Metals: Clean surfaces with a solvent such as Lacquer Thinner.
   Dry the surface with a lint free cloth before the solvent evaporates and re-clean with a soapy water
   solution before applying graphic.

   Freshly painted surfaces should be dry for at least 72 hours prior to application of the vinyl graphics.

   Interior Painted Surfaces: Surfaces may be cleaned with any household cleaner or mild soap and water.

   Temperature Requirements: The temperature of the room and the temperature of the intended
  surface should be between 45 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit for best results. Very high humidity
  (above 90 percent) may effect the application process.
