The Best Way to Apply a Sticker

There are a few steps you can follow to apply a sticker:

  1. Clean the surface where you want to use the sticker. Make sure it is dry and free of any dirt or debris.
  2. Slowly peel the backing paper off the sticker. If the sticker is large, it might be best to use the wet method to apply. Another option is to have the stickers back slit in multiple places to make it easier to apply.
  3. Position the sticker on the surface where you want to apply it. Use a scraper or a credit card to smooth out any air bubbles and ensure that the sticker adheres appropriately.
  4. If the sticker has multiple layers, carefully peel off each layer, smoothing out any air bubbles as you go.
  5. Once the sticker is applied, gently press down on the edges to ensure it is fully stuck to the surface.

Stickers can take up to 72 hours before they fully adhere to the surface. This is because the adhesive takes time to ooze out and fill all crevices.

By following these steps, you can apply a sticker smoothly and evenly.

Using the wet method for Large Stickers and Retail Graphics

The wet method is a way of applying very large stickers. The most common places the wet method are used is for retail window graphics and truck graphics. This method uses a soap and water combination to temporarily deaden the adhesive, allowing the sticker to be repositioned.
