Choosing your surface
Custom vinyl lettering and decals can be applied to almost any surface as long as it is smooth and straight. These vinyl letters or wall decals wont really work great on bumpy or rough surfaces since it would make it harder for the letters to stick.
Make sure that the surface is clean
Installing your vinyl letters starts with a clean surface. Make sure that the surface you choose is smooth and free of dust and dirt. Dust and dirt can affect the stickiness of the letters making. Clean the surface first with soap and water and make sure to leave it completely dry. If wall decals were previously placed there make sure that you remove them and clean the surface first before placing your vinyl letters. Making sure that the surface is dry is very important because it will be hard to apply your vinyl letters or decals to a wet surface.
Apply the Vinyl Letters
The exciting part comes in applying the vinyl letters onto your wall, car, or window. All wall decals in Edmonton are the same, so if you have installed a wall decal before, this one is no different. Its quite easy and even a 10 year can do it. The only secret is to do it slowly. First, once you have picked the surface of choice and cleaned it, get your vinyl and use a masking tape to affix the vinyl to the surface. Using the masking tape as a hinge, remove the paper slowly and straighten out the clear vinyl film to the surface. If the whole vinyl is too big you can cut the out the letters and install them one by one. You can use a card of a ruler to help smoothen out the entire application paper. Once the clear film or the application paper is smoothened out you can wait a little more and start removing it slowly. If you find any air bubble in the letters you can simply eliminate them by popping them with a pin.
