VINYL LETTERING RULES:

1. Vinyl lettering should only be placed on clean, hard surfaces (wood, walls, furniture, mirrors, cars, etc.)
2. When applying vinyl to a painted, wood board, make sure to let the paint dry completely! (The vinyl won't stick on wet surfaces).
3. It's yours! Try different surfaces, locations, etc. Just be creative!

APPLICATION:

1. When you receive your vinyl, it will come stricking together between two types of paper: backing paper and application tape (looks like masking tape).
2. You may want to rub the tape with a flat edge tool (credit cards work great)to make sure the letters are sticking to the application tape.
3. Decide where you want the vinyl to go. Center the lettering by measuring from the actual vinyl letters (not the edge of the paper as it might not be perfectly straight) for desired placement.
4. Place a strip of masking tape on the top edge of the vinyl strip to hold it in place. This will act as a hinge as you remove the backing paper. Make sure all the vinyl letters are on the application tape! If not, replace the backing paper and rub with flat edge tool again.
5. Once the backing paper is removed, pull the vinyl strip tight to prevent wrinkles. When it is on the surface, use your flat edge tool to rub over the application tape, making sure to concentrate on smaller or thin letters.
6. Slowly remove the application tape from the surface. Make sure vinyl is sticking to the surface. If not, replace tape and rub again.

REMOVING VINYL:

Sometimes, you can gently peel away vinyl with your fingernails. If vinyl has been on surface for a long time, use a blow dryer on a low setting to warm up vinyl and peel away.

**REMEMBER: Vinyl is not reusable.
