🧩 Vinyl Decal — Application & Suitable Surfaces

Vinyl decals are designed for smooth, clean surfaces like metal, plastic, glass, wood, and vehicles. Larger decals can be tricky to apply solo—take your time and follow the guidance below.

Factors Affecting Adhesion

  • Acclimation: Lay vinyl flat for ~12 hours to reach room temperature.
  • Cleanliness: Dirt, dust, or oils will prevent proper adhesion.
  • New paint: Freshly painted walls need ~6 weeks to cure (off-gassing).
  • Temperature: Very cold surfaces hinder adhesion.
  • Surface quality: Unfinished, heavily textured, or flaky/old paint reduces stick.
  • Drying time: Waiting too long to apply can dry out the adhesive.
  • Sealants: Wall sealers can cause bubbling or curling.

Tip: Always assess the surface first to ensure it’s suitable before application.
