Step
1 – Cleaning And Preparing The Surface
You’ll need to thoroughly clean
the surface area you will apply your Wild
Sticker to. Most glass cleaners will work
well or use a soap solution as in the wet
application method. You’ll want to
make sure you remove any wax or polish residue
so that your Wild Sticker will adhere properly.

Step
2 – Prepare Your Wild Sticker For
Installation
Lay your Wild Sticker down on a smooth,
flat surface with the clear transfer material
facing up. Using the edge of your squeegee
or credit card, burnish the clear transfer
material to your wild Sticker artwork or
lettering design by applying firm pressure
and rubbing from the center to the edges
of your graphic.
Next, apply a strip of masking tape along
the top edge of your Wild Sticker so that
½ of the tape is on the clear transfer
material and the other ½ hangs over
to create a “hinge” so that
it can be applied to your application surface.
Note:
For longer or lettering applications position
your Wild Sticker in place first with two
small pieces of tape in the corners and
then run a long strip of tape along the
top edge to create the “hinge”

Step
3 – Positioning Your Wild Sticker
While holding the top edge with the tape
“hinge” just off the surface,
move the graphic into position in the desired
location. When you’re satisfied with
the placement, press the tape “hinge”
onto the surface holding your Wild Sticker
in place.

Step
4 – Remove The Backing Material
Lifting up on the edge of your
Wild Sticker, gently peel a corner of the
clear transfer material away from the backing
material with one hand. You can now lift
the graphic so that it swings upward by
your taped “Hinge” and slowly
pull the backing material away from the
clear transfer material while holding the
graphic away from the application surface.
Always draw the backing material or release
liner from the film, never the other way
around. Your graphic should adhere to the
clear transfer material. Once the backing
material is peeled away the sticky vinyl
back of your graphic is exposed.

Step
5 – Applying Your Wild Sticker
While holding the clear transfer material
with your graphic with one hand, take the
squeegee with your other hand and begin
to burnish your Wild Sticker to the surface
from top to bottom in smooth, short strokes
slowly moving downward and fixing the adhesive
backing to the surface. If you get a crease
or bubble, gently lift the sticker back
upwards off the surface and try again. You
can work out small bubbles later.
Now that you have applied Your Wild Sticker
graphic you should continue to burnish it
onto the surface with the squeegee working
from the center outward using an increasing
amount of pressure to securely affix the
adhesive to your surface.

Step
6 – Finshing Off
With your graphic firmly affixed to the
surface, lift a corner of the transfer material
away from the surface and gently peel away
at a 180 degree angle. The masking tape
“hinge” should also peel away
revealing your custom graphic!
