Package Contents
Your package should contain the following items:
- RideMakerz Cars 2 World Grand Prix Lightning McQueen Decal Sheets (typically 2 sheets)
Setup and Preparation
- Choose Your Surface: Select a clean, smooth, and dry surface for decal application. Ideal surfaces include plastic, metal, or glass.
- Clean the Surface: Use a mild cleaner or rubbing alcohol to thoroughly clean the application area. This removes dust, grease, and fingerprints, ensuring optimal adhesion. Allow the surface to dry completely before proceeding.
- Gather Tools (Optional): While not strictly necessary, a small, soft cloth or a plastic squeegee can be helpful for smoothing out decals and removing air bubbles.
Application Instructions
Follow these steps to apply your decals:
- Plan Your Design: Before peeling, arrange the decals on your chosen surface to visualize the final layout. This helps prevent misplacement.
- Peel the Decal: Carefully peel one decal from its backing sheet. Avoid touching the adhesive side with your fingers as much as possible to maintain stickiness.
- Position and Apply: Gently place the decal onto the desired surface. Once positioned, press down firmly from the center outwards.
- Smooth Out Bubbles: Using your finger, a soft cloth, or a plastic squeegee, gently smooth out any air bubbles. Work from the center of the decal towards its edges. If a bubble persists, you may carefully lift a small section of the decal and reapply, or gently prick the bubble with a fine needle and smooth it down.
- Repeat: Continue with remaining decals until your customization is complete.
- Final Press: After all decals are applied, gently press over them one last time to ensure full adhesion.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: If the decorated item needs cleaning, gently wipe the surface with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the decals.
- Avoid Extreme Conditions: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme heat, or cold may affect the decal's adhesion and appearance over time.
- Removal: Decals are generally designed for single use. Attempting to remove and reapply them may result in damage to the decal or reduced adhesion.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Decal not sticking properly | Surface was not clean or dry; adhesive touched too much during handling. | Ensure surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Minimize touching the adhesive side. For existing decals, firmly press down again. |
| Air bubbles under decal | Air trapped during application. | Gently smooth from the center outwards with a soft cloth or squeegee. For stubborn bubbles, carefully prick with a fine needle and smooth. |
| Decal peeling at edges | Insufficient pressure during application; edge not fully adhered. | Press down firmly on the edges. Ensure the surface is smooth and free of texture where the decal is applied. |
