5. Setup and Application Instructions

Follow these steps carefully for optimal application of your wall decal.

5.1 Surface Preparation

1. Clean the Surface: Ensure the wall or desired application surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, grease, or moisture. Use a damp cloth to wipe the surface, then allow it to dry completely.
2. Smooth Surface: Decals adhere best to smooth surfaces. Avoid applying to textured walls, brick, or uneven surfaces.
3. Fresh Paint: If the wall has been recently painted, wait at least 2-3 weeks for the paint to fully cure before applying the decal.

5.2 Decal Application

1. Unroll and Flatten: Carefully unroll the decal and lay it flat on a clean, hard surface. If it has creases, gently smooth them out.
2. Positioning: Without removing the backing paper, temporarily tape the decal to the desired location on the wall using painter's tape. Step back to ensure the positioning is correct.
3. Peel Backing (Top Down): Once satisfied with the position, secure the top edge of the decal to the wall with a long piece of tape, creating a hinge. Slowly peel the backing paper downwards from the top, exposing a small section of the adhesive side.
4. Apply and Smooth: As you peel the backing paper down with one hand, use a squeegee or a credit card wrapped in a soft cloth to smooth the decal onto the wall from the center outwards, working downwards. This helps prevent air bubbles.
5. Continue Application: Repeat the process, slowly peeling more of the backing paper and smoothing the decal onto the wall until the entire decal is applied.
6. Final Smoothing: Once the entire decal is on the wall, firmly rub over the entire surface of the decal with the squeegee or cloth-wrapped card to ensure maximum adhesion and remove any remaining small air bubbles.
7. Enjoy: Your Xerial YU59 Baseball Player Wall Decal is now successfully applied.

6. Maintenance

To keep your Xerial YU59 Wall Decal looking its best:

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the decal with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the decal or its adhesive.
• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause the decal colors to fade over time.
• Removal: To remove the decal, gently peel it off the wall. If it resists, use a hairdryer on a low setting to warm the decal slightly, which can soften the adhesive for easier removal. Peel slowly to avoid damaging the wall surface.

7. Troubleshooting

• Decal Not Sticking:
  • Ensure the surface is completely clean, dry, and smooth.
  • Verify that the wall paint is fully cured (wait 2-3 weeks after painting).
  • Press firmly with a squeegee or cloth-wrapped card during application.
• Air Bubbles:
  • For small bubbles, gently press them towards the edge of the decal with your finger or a soft cloth.
  • For stubborn bubbles, carefully prick them with a fine needle and then smooth the air out.
• Creases:
  • If creases appear during application, gently lift the decal back to the crease and reapply slowly, smoothing as you go.
