Necessary materials:
1- A spatula or similar (credit card, ID)
2- A clean cloth
What will I receive?
You will receive a cardboard tube packaging that protects the sticker and its accessories from any damage. In the case that you also purchased
a spatula, this will also be inside the tube. In the cardboard tube. Also, we have attached a copy of the design to be used as a proportional template sheet sticker so you can make adhesion and application tests before applying your acquired vinyl sticker.
If you won ́t be applying the sticker until a few weeks later, then it will be better to take the sticker out of the tube and keep it
stretched out.
How to get started?
You will need to make sure that the surface where you will be sticking the sticker onto is in good condition; otherwise the durability of the sticker is not guaranteed as the grip won't be correct. The surface must be dry, free from dirt and impurities such as powder, liquids and stains...
We recommend that if you ́re going to stick your sticker on a painted wall, it should be plastic paint as this is the most recommended.
Never clean the surface with glass cleaner. This product leaves particles that are not compatible with the adhesive. We recommend cleaning the surface with water or cleaning alcohol from the pharmacy.
The stickers sold by Tenstickers are for any smooth non-porous surface. If yours is otherwise please contact info@tenstickers-ireland.com to find a solution.
* If you have purchased a vinyl blackboard sticker you have to place in an absolutely smooth surface. The slightest irregularity on the surface will affect the writing and erasing on the board.
How to apply the sticker?
01- You remove the seal from the cardboard tube; take out the sticker and the template. Have a table or a floor ready, and
check that it is the correct sticker that you have ordered. Depending on the size of your sticker, your delivery may come in one
or more pieces (in the same cardboard tube). If you ordered a photo mural, please be sure that there aren ́t any missing pieces
to complete the mural.
02- Use the spatula very hard across the whole surface of the protective paper to ensure that the sticker sticks properly. We
insist especially on the parts where the design has very small details.
03- Take measurements of the wall and adjust the space for the sticker.
04- Bend the white silicon paper about 5 centimetres from the top.
05- You stick the upper part of the sticker onto the wall in order to secure the sticker on the wall before removing the white
silicon paper at the back.
06- You then remove the white paper at the back of the sticker as you press the sticker down. You will then use the spatula or
anything similar to stick down the sticker onto the wall. The direction of the spatula (or similar) will always be from the centre
and working your way outwards to the sides.
07- You will then go over the sticker several times with the spatula on top of the clear protective paper to ensure that the sticker
is securely stuck onto the wall.
With multicoloured stickers, the first spread with the spatula needs to be very soft because the sticker is repositionable and
it can easily come off until it has been stuck on properly on the wall. Once stuck on correctly you will not be able to reposition it.
08-By now the sticker is already stuck onto the wall. Now all you need to do is remove the clear protection paper on top. You
will pull this at an angle of 180 degrees.
Some stickers ́ don ́t need the protective paper so therefore in step 7 you would have already finished the application.
