Installing Vinyl Lettering On Walls

Step 1 Prepare Your Wall
Wash your wall with a mild household cleaner. Rinse and dry the wall completely.
Decide where you want your graphics to be placed and lightly pencil small guide-lines on your wall.

Make another small guide-mark indicating where you want the center of your graphic.

Step 2 Prepare Your Graphics or Lettering
Unroll your vinyl. (It may need to lay flat in a warm area until it no longer curls.)
Lay your expression on a table or other smooth surface (so that you can read your vinyl). Rub over the entire surface of your vinyl with an applicator (try a credit card is you don't have an applicator). This will ensure that the lettering adheres to the transfer tape.

Place a level or straight edge on your vinyl and line it up with the bottom of your lettering. (If the font does not have an even baseline, choose a repeating letter and place the yardstick at the bottom edge of these repeating letters.) Using the straight edge as your guide, pencil a line along the bottom of your lettering. This guide-line will match up to the guide-line you have penciled on the wall.

Step 3 Position and Tape Vinyl Lettering
The small arrow indicates the horizontal center of your expression. Line this arrow up with the center guide-mark you placed on the wall earlier.
Match up the guide-line you penciled on what you're applying with the guide-line you penciled on the wall.

With the vinyl in the desired position, place small pieces of painter�s tape or masking tape along the top of edge of your expression. These pieces of tape act as "hinges" and should be placed approximately every six inches.

Step 4 Remove Backing Paper
Flip your lettering or graphics up and slowly peel the backing paper away from the transfer tape. (The lettering will adhere to the sticky transfer tape. The backing paper will be blank.)
Carefully lay the vinyl back down into position on the wall and smooth the entire surface.

Step 5 Burnish Your Lettering or Graphics
Using an applicator, firmly rub the entire graphic, giving special attention to the edges of each letter.

Step 6 Remove Transfer Tape
Slowly peel the transfer tape from the wall.
Remove the arrow from the wall and erase your guide-lines.
