| Think of your vinyl lettering sheet in 3D: |
 |
Your vinyl arrives as a pre-spaced sheet of letters made up of thee
layers:
- The top layer - or transfer tape (through which you can see the
letters or design)
- The middle layer - which are the letters themselves; and
- The bottom layer - or white/blue shiny backing paper.
|
| Unroll your SimpleStencil Lettering and lay it flat in a warm area until it no longer curls. Once it lays flat, place your expression on a table or other smooth hard surface. Rub over the entire surface of your expression with an applicator (or credit card). This will ensure that the lettering adheres to the transfer tape before you attempt to remove the backing. |
| POSITION YOUR LETTERS OR DESIGN |
|
Position your vinyl sheet on the wall, centering the letters or your
design, and securing with masking or
painting tape. The tape acts as a hinge for the project. You can see the
transfer through its
semi-transparent top layer. |
| REMOVE THE BACKING |
|
Flip the lettering sheet upward and slowly peel off the bottom layer.
Let the lettering rest on the
semi-transparent top layer. If the lettering wants to stick to the
backing, slowly manipulate the backing
to help the letters stick to the top layer. |
| RUB THE LETTERS ONTO YOUR WALL |
|
Use the enclosed tool, or some kind of hard but gently edge like a large
tongue depressor, wide popsicle
stick or plastic scraper, and firmy rub over the semi-transparent top
layer to secure the lettering to your
wall. Work from the center out on both sides letting the edge act as a
squeegee over the lettering. |
| PEEL OFF THE TRANSFER TAPE |
|
Then, carefully peel off the sticky top layer to reveal your work. |
| YOU'RE DONE |
|
Sit back and enjoy. |
Removal hint:
When it comes time to remove your work, remember that the heat of a blow
dryer will soften the vinyl and make it easier to peel off. |
