When you put them on, here is how it is done. Use a pencil to locate where
you want them by putting stratagic marks on the decal and roof. Use masking
tape to hold the complete decal while you step back and eyeball it.The
decal is sandwiched between two layers of paper. Of course clean the area
that the decal will be attached,real good. Pull off the layer of paper that
has the sticky on it. Use a spray windex bottle to spray the roof area with
water laced with 2 drops of ivory dishwashing soap/12 oz.This will allow
the decal to be fine tuned, while in direct contact with the roof. The soap
breaks the surface tension of the water.Next. When the decal is positioned
just right, use a credit card or other squigie to squish the water out from
under the decal, and to press it firmly to the roof. Start slowly and try
to push out any bubbles first, before pressing hard on the decal. While
wet, you can even pull the decal completely off and begin again if
needed.Remember that the top is textured ,and a sponge will be good for
rubbing on this decal/top paper. Now, let it set for a few hours and dry
completely so the glue can dry good. When dry ,carefully peal off the top
layer of paper and your done.Dont forget to use a pencil erasure to remove
any pencil markes.
