Preparation

If you don't have a squeegee, I recommend using a slightly thicker plastic card. Smooth all the details on your sticker down firmly. If the sticker isn't releasing at the corners yet, go over those specific spots again with the plastic card. My tip is to keep the film slightly lifted with one hand and peel it back bit by bit until all the details adhere to the transfer tape. Make sure to take enough time for this and always place the sticker on a hard surface when transferring it.

THE STICKER WON'T COME OFF THE TRANSFER TAPE?

TIP 1: Peel off the film from the bottom of the design – that is, where the lines are thinnest. It is precisely in these fine areas that it adheres most easily to the transfer tape. This almost always works on the first try!

TIP 2: This is how it’s guaranteed to work!

Turn the sticker over onto its back and firmly squeegee over the backing paper from the back. The additional pressure helps the vinyl bond even better with the transfer tape – ensuring the transfer works every time!

Now that you know how to optimally remove the stickers from the transfer film, let's move on to applying them.

Affix

You only have one attempt; as soon as the design comes into contact with the surface, it will begin to detach from the carrier film. After applying the film, first press everything down firmly with your fingers. Then, take your plastic card and carefully smooth over the individual designs. Now, slowly peel off the transfer film—if the design is still sticking to the adhesive film anywhere, lay the film back down and smooth over it again. Repeat this until everything is firmly adhered to your object. Peel the film off as flat as possible. After you have completely removed the film, you can carefully press everything down firmly once more with your fingers.

Remove sticker

The stickers are easiest to remove with a glass scraper or ceramic hob scraper. Spray enough glass cleaner onto the sticker you want to remove. Using the glass scraper, push the film off piece by piece in small movements at approximately a 45-degree angle. Spray more glass cleaner in between to ensure the scraper glides smoothly and leaves as little adhesive residue as possible.
