What You’ll Need

• Small vinyl decal with transfer tape (provided)
• Glass cleaner without ammonia or isopropyl alcohol
• Microfiber cloth or soft lint-free paper towels
• Squeegee (provided)
• Masking tape (optional)

Note: Apply decals at your discretion. Be sure to read and follow all instructions. Eternal Life Designs, LLC is not responsible for any damages.

1. Clean the Desired Decal Location

1. Spray glass cleaner or alcohol onto the desired location.
2. Wipe with a microfiber cloth or lint-free paper towel until area is clean, being sure to remove all dust, residue and lint.
3. Make sure area is dry before applying decal.

Tip: Avoid cleaners with ammonia — they can interfere with adhesive.

2. Position the Decal

1. Hold the decal (with transfer tape still on) against the desired location.
2. Adjust until it looks level and centered where you want it.
3. Use one or two small pieces of masking tape on the top edge to hold it in place. This creates a simple “hinge” so it doesn’t shift.

3. Peel the Backing

1. Lift the decal from the bottom (the taped top edge stays in place).
2. Carefully peel off the paper backing, leaving the decal stuck to the clear transfer tape.
3. Be sure the vinyl stays attached to the transfer tape

4. Apply the Decal

1. Slowly lower the decal onto the glass starting from the hinged edge.
2. Use the squeegee to press from the center outward.
3. Smooth out any air as you go — small decals rarely bubble if pressed firmly.

Tip: For very small decals, you can simply place and press firmly without a hinge.

5. Remove the Transfer Tape

1. Slowly peel the transfer tape back at a sharp angle (almost flat against the surface).
2. If any part of the decal lifts, stop, lay the tape back down, and press again.
3. Continue peeling until all tape is removed and only the vinyl decal remains.

6. Final Press

1. Use your fingers or the felt side of the squeegee to firmly press over the entire decal again.
2. Pay extra attention to edges and corners.
3. Avoid touching or washing the area for 24 hours to let the adhesive set.

Extra Tips for Perfect Results

• If applying on a vehicle in cold temperatures, warm the area slightly with a hair dryer or heat gun. Be careful not to damage vehicles finish.
• Don’t apply in direct sun. It can make the adhesive grab too quickly.
• Small bubbles usually disappear on their own after a day or two.
