Installation Guide
-
Prepare Surface: Thoroughly clean the application area with rubbing alcohol or a mild detergent to remove any dirt, wax, or grease. Ensure the surface is completely dry.
-
Plan Layout: Arrange your required registration numbers and letters on a flat surface to confirm spacing and alignment before peeling the backing. Use masking tape to create a straight guideline on the hull.
-
Peel and Position: Carefully peel the backing paper from a single decal. Avoid touching the adhesive. Align the top edge of the decal with your guideline and gently place it on the surface.
-
Apply Pressure: Starting from the center and moving outwards, press the decal down firmly with a squeegee or credit card. This removes air bubbles and ensures a strong bond.
-
Repeat: Continue applying the remaining characters, ensuring consistent spacing between them as required by local regulations (e.g., a hyphen or space equivalent).
-
Final Cure: Allow the decals to cure for at least 24 hours before exposing the vessel to water to ensure the adhesive bond is fully set.
Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I ensure the decals stick properly and last a long time?
A: Proper surface preparation is critical. The hull must be completely clean, dry, and free of any wax, oil, or protectants. Applying the decals in a shaded area with temperatures between 50°F and 90°F (10°C and 32°C) will ensure the adhesive bonds correctly. Avoid using a pressure washer directly on the decal edges.
Q: Are these decals compliant with boating registration laws?
A: Yes, the 3-inch character height meets the minimum size requirement specified by the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG). However, you should always verify your specific state or local regulations regarding color contrast, spacing, and placement on the hull.
Q: Can these decals be removed?
A: While the adhesive is permanent and designed for long-term use, the decals can be removed. Gently heating the decal with a hairdryer will soften the vinyl and adhesive, allowing you to slowly peel it off. Any remaining adhesive residue can be cleaned with a dedicated adhesive remover or rubbing alcohol.
