Forest Tree Wall Decal

Thank you for choosing our wall decals to enhance your space! To ensure a smooth and successful application, please follow these step-by-step instructions.

Before You Begin:

Surface Preparation:

• Ensure your wall is clean, dry, and smooth.
• Remove any dust, dirt, or grease spots with a clean, damp cloth.
• Allow the wall to dry completely.

Gather Necessary Tools:

• Prepare the tools you’ll need: a soft cloth or squeegee, a measuring tape, and possibly a level and a pencil.

Decal Unrolling:

• Unroll the decals and lay them flat on a clean surface for a few hours to eliminate any curling.

Installation Steps:

Layout Planning:

• Temporarily tape the decals to the wall with painter’s tape to finalize their placement.
• Use a level and measuring tape to ensure alignment and spacing according to your design plan.

Surface Preparation:

• Clean the application area again if necessary, ensuring it’s dust and moisture-free.

Applying Decals:

• Peel the decal from the backing paper at a 45-degree angle.
• Apply pressure to areas where the adhesive is strongest.
• Consider having a second person assist with larger decals.

Smoothing Process:

• Use a squeegee or soft cloth to smooth the decal onto the wall, starting from one side.
• Work slowly to avoid air bubbles.
• For larger decals, apply from the top down and smooth as you go.

Final Touches:

• Once the decal is in place, firmly press over the entire surface with a soft cloth or squeegee.
• Gently press down any lifted edges or bubbles towards the nearest edge.

Aftercare:

• Avoid direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can affect the adhesive.
• To clean, lightly dust with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using chemicals or abrasives.

Decal Removal:

• Gently peel the decal off the wall at a 180-degree angle.
• Use a hairdryer on low heat to warm the decal for easier removal, if necessary.

Note: The ease of removal and the condition of the underlying wall can vary based on the wall’s finish, the duration the decal has been applied, and environmental factors. Always remove decals slowly and carefully.

Peel and Stick material is a versatile and user-friendly option for wall decals and wallpaper, designed to make the installation and removal process as easy as possible. This material consists of a fabric or vinyl base with a self-adhesive backing that can be applied directly to walls and other smooth, clean surfaces without the need for additional adhesives or pastes.

Key Features of Peel and Stick Material:

• Self-Adhesive
• Removable and Repositionable
• Durable and Resilient
• Printable Surface
• Easy to Clean
• Versatile Applications

Preparing the surface properly is crucial for ensuring the best adhesion and appearance of your Peel and Stick decals or wallpaper. Here’s how to prepare the surface before application:

1. Clean the Surface:

• Start by cleaning the wall or surface where the decal or wallpaper will be applied. Use a damp cloth to wipe away any dust, dirt, or grease. For walls, a mild detergent diluted in water can help remove stubborn stains or marks, but make sure to rinse the area with a clean, damp cloth afterward to remove any soap residue.

2. Dry the Surface:

• After cleaning, allow the surface to dry completely. Any moisture remaining on the wall can affect the adhesive’s ability to bond properly.

3. Smooth the Surface:

• Inspect the wall for any holes, cracks, or imperfections. Use spackling paste or wall putty to fill in any small holes or cracks, and sand the area smooth once the filler has dried. For larger imperfections, more extensive repairs may be necessary for a smooth application surface.

4. Remove Loose Paint:

• If the paint on your wall is peeling or flaking, scrape away any loose paint and sand the area smooth. This ensures that the Peel and Stick material adheres to a stable surface.

5. Prime if Necessary:

• If you’re applying the decal or wallpaper to a porous surface (like unsealed wood) or if the wall has been repaired and filled, applying a primer can create a more uniform surface that enhances adhesive performance. Make sure the primer is completely dry before proceeding with the decal or wallpaper application.

6. Remove Wall Fixtures:

• Take down any wall fixtures, outlet covers, switch plates, and hooks. This will allow you to apply the decal or wallpaper without obstructions, ensuring a smooth, continuous surface.

7. Measure and Mark:

• For larger decals or wallpaper applications, use a measuring tape and a level to mark where you’ll be placing the material. Light pencil marks can guide placement and ensure alignment.

Additional Tips:

• Avoid applying Peel and Stick products to freshly painted walls. Wait at least 2-3 weeks after painting to ensure the paint is fully cured.
• Be cautious when applying over textured walls. While some Peel and Stick materials can adhere to lightly textured surfaces, heavy textures may prevent proper adhesion.
• Consider the room’s conditions. High humidity areas like bathrooms may affect the adhesive, so choosing a product designed for such environments is advisable.

By following these steps to prepare your surface, you can create the ideal conditions for your Peel and Stick decals or wallpaper to look beautiful and last longer.
