Installing Window Stickers
- Wash surface. Avoid cleaners containing alcohol or abrasives. Stickers will adhere to any generally flat surface, including walls, windows, and door panels.
- Temporarily position the sticker in the desired location.
- Peel off the backing. This is the stiff paper behind the sticker. You will be left with the image, and the sticky see-through tape. IMPORTANT NOTE: It is possible you will have difficulty getting the vinyl sticker to stay on the see-through tape. It might stay on the backing, which is not what you want. That's why you want to peel the backing off slowly. If the vinyl is still on the backing, stop peeling, and rub the sticker with the stick or a credit card, and try again. This is more likely to happen the longer you wait to install the sticker.
- Position the sticker and tape in the desired location. Do this starting at one end, and working in one direction to avoid creases or large bubbles. Rub with a pop stick as you go.
- When done, bend back one corner of the tape and slowly peel it off at a 45 degree angle. Go slowly and make sure the vinyl sticker stays on the surface, and doesn't stick to the tape. Use the stick to rub down if the vinyl starts to come up.
- Smooth over any creases or bubbles with the stick. Often, small bubbles will form immediately. These usually go away in a day or so.
To remove, place a fingernail under a corner and pull it away. If you have any resistance, warm with a hair dryer on low.

About Our Vinyl
For most outdoor applications, you will receive stickers made from Oracal 651 vinyl. This is a high quality, 6-year vinyl - the best on the market. For indoor applications, you will receive Oracal 631 vinyl. This is also a high quality product, but is easier to remove from interior walls. We may substitute vinyl products depending on availability.
For most products, you will be asked if it is for an indoor wall application. For products that are clearly for indoor applications, you will receive 631 vinyl by default. For products that are clearly intended for outdoor use, you will receive an outdoor (651 or 641) vinyl. Feel free to use the ordering instructions to give more information on how you will be using the sticker, so we can provide you with the appropriate vinyl product.
