1. Prepare surface by cleaning thoroughly with soap and water. Surface must be clean and free of dirt,
grime, rust and oil. To clean oily surface, wipe with clean cloth and solvent cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
2. Position the decal by centering it vertically on the tube and apply masking tape along the top, creating a
gate hinge (see Detail A in Figure 14).
3. Remove backing paper from decal 6” from the top and use the squeegee to adhere decal to the tube
(see Detail B). Start at the top center of the decal and work your way outward both left and right using
overlapping strokes.
4. As you work your way down the decal, peel back the backing paper 6” at a time. Repeat Step 3 until the
entire decal has been applied to the tube (see Detail C as an example).
5. Once the entire decal has been properly adhered to the tube, remove tape hinge from front of decal.
Remove the front application tape at a sharp 180° angle.
6. Inspect the entire decal for air pockets; if found, remove them by punching a tiny hole with a pin and
then squeegee the surface flat.
7. Squeegee the corners and edges of the decal to ensure proper adhesion and to prevent premature
peeling.
