APPLICATION : THE DRY METHOD

This method should be used only for small decals or decals with a lot of thin lines and detail. Once a decal touches a dry surface it is stuck! So plan accordingly. It's a one Shot Deal.

Clean the Area thouroughly. We're rather fond of rubbing alcohol or denatured alcohol for drum heads, but due to variances in age and brands, ALWAYS test first. You clean at your own Risk. Your goal is a residue free surface. New heads usually work right out of the box, just wipe with a damp cloth to get any dust off.

Step 1 (Picture 1) -Ooh and Aahh at Your New Custom Decal.

Step 2 (Picture 2) - Squeegee, starting from the middle working to the outsides, to make sure that the top transfer layer is correctly positioning the decal. Buy one of our squeegees for sale, or use two credit cards held together for best results.

Step 3 (Picture 3) - Remove backing by carefully pulling up top layer. Make sure everything is sticking to the top layer as you pull up. if not, lay back down on backing and re-squeegee. 

Step 4 (Picture 4) - Apply to clean surface. Remember to watch your positioning. It sticks once it touches a dry surface. If you are concerned with this, try the wet application.

Step 5 (Picture 5) - Squeegee. use your squeegee working from the center to the outside. Work those Bubbles out.

Step 6 (Picture 6) - Remove the top transfer layer carefully. make sure all letters are stuck.

 If they just won't stick, then your surface is too dirty and may have damaged sicker. Try to save it by cleaning surface again and using the wet method to apply.

Step 7 (Picture 7) -  Your done!  and it looks Great! Clean gently. Watch those edges and sharp points. Adhesion will continue to improve over the next 24 hours..
