How To Apply
- Prepare Surface: Clean and dry the area before applying. Make sure it is free from dust and debris for best adhesion.
- Prepare Supplies: Place your blank on a stable surface. Squeegee the front and back of the transfer with a felt squeegee. Trim any excess transfer that may overlap.
- Peel Off Backing: Peel the backing off the carrier sheet.
- Position & Press: Align the wrap on the surface and press from one side to the other to remove air bubbles and ensure a smooth finish. Transfers are not removable once applied. After placement, go over the entire design with a felt squeegee or your hands to eliminate any remaining air bubbles.
- Remove Clear Film: Slowly peel the top film from the transfer to ensure you do not lift any part of the design. Pull the film back as close to the blank as possible as you remove it.
