2. Installation Guide

Follow these steps carefully to install your growth chart wall decal. Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and smooth before application.

2.1. Preparation

• Clean the Surface: Wipe the wall surface with a clean, dry cloth to remove any dust, dirt, or grease. Ensure the wall is completely dry before proceeding.
• Gather Tools: You will need a measuring tape, a pencil, and possibly a level.
• Unroll Decal: Carefully unroll the growth chart decal and lay it flat for a few hours or overnight to allow it to flatten out.

2.2. Application Steps

1. Mark Starting Point: Using a measuring tape, mark the desired starting height on your wall. Most growth charts begin at a certain height above the floor (e.g., 20cm or 60cm) to account for baseboards. Refer to the decal's lowest measurement mark.
2. Position the Decal: Carefully align the decal with your marked starting point. Use a pencil to lightly mark the top edge of the decal on the wall to ensure it is straight.
3. Peel and Stick: Slowly peel a small section of the backing paper from the top of the decal. Press the exposed adhesive portion onto the wall, smoothing it down with your hand or a soft cloth to remove air bubbles.
4. Continue Application: Gradually peel off more of the backing paper while simultaneously pressing the decal onto the wall, working from top to bottom and from the center outwards. Ensure no air bubbles are trapped underneath.
5. Secure Adhesion: Once the entire decal is applied, firmly press over the entire surface of the decal, paying extra attention to the edges, to ensure strong adhesion.

2.3. Important Considerations

• For best results, apply to smooth, clean, and dry surfaces. Avoid textured walls, freshly painted walls (wait at least 2-3 weeks after painting), or walls with peeling paint.
• While removable, repeated removal and reapplication may reduce adhesive effectiveness.

3. Using the Growth Chart

Once installed, the growth chart is ready for use. Have your child stand against the chart, ensuring their heels are flat on the floor. Use a pencil or marker to lightly mark their height on the chart. You can write their name and the date next to each mark to create a lasting memory.

4. Care and Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your growth chart decal, follow these simple care instructions:

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the surface of the decal with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the decal or affect its adhesion.
• Removal: To remove the decal, slowly and carefully peel it off the wall. If it resists, you can gently warm it with a hairdryer on a low setting to soften the adhesive, making removal easier.
• Storage: If you plan to store the decal for future use, carefully re-apply it to its original backing paper or a smooth, non-stick surface. Store it flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

5. Troubleshooting Common Issues

While rare, you may encounter minor issues during or after installation. Here are some common problems and their solutions:

• Bubbles Under Decal: If small air bubbles appear, gently smooth them out towards the edges using a soft cloth or your fingers. For stubborn bubbles, you can carefully prick them with a fine needle and then smooth the air out.
• Decal Not Sticking: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Dust, grease, or textured surfaces can prevent proper adhesion. Re-clean the surface and re-apply. If the wall was recently painted, allow sufficient curing time (2-3 weeks).
• Edges Lifting: If edges begin to lift, press them firmly back onto the wall. Ensure the surface is clean. Extreme temperature changes or high humidity might affect adhesion over time.
