Installation of Vinyl lettering (Hinge Method)

1) After your surface and graphic are prepared and you have made your guideline marks, place your graphic on your surface with the transfer tape and backing paper still on, and apply small pieces of painter's tape every six inches along the top edge. These pieces of tape act as "hinges" for your graphic.

2) Using your newly created hinge, flip your graphic up completely and slowly peel the backing paper away from the transfer tape at an angle, taking care not to touch the adhesive on the expression itself. Your graphic should adhere to the sticky transfer tape, leaving the backing paper blank. If any part of your graphic does not adhere to the transfer tape, lay the backing paper back down and firmly rub your graphic again with your transfer tool. Then, completely remove and discard the backing paper. Your graphic should still be flipped up at this point.

3) Carefully lay your graphic back down into position, and smooth out onto your surface.

4) Using a UL Transfer Tool or credit card, firmly rub the entire graphic, giving special attention to the edges of each letter or graphic.

5) Slowly peel the transfer tape from the wall at a 45 degree angle and discard. If any part of the graphic does not adhere to the transfer tape, lay the backing paper back down and firmly rub your graphic again with your transfer tool.

6) Remove the vinyl leveling arrows from your surface and erase your guideline marks.
