Some help with decals!?

[thepizz]

Just bought my 2 year old a Little Tikes Cars 2 twin bed. There is around 25 decals to put on and most are quite large.

Any tips/advice on putting them on so they look nice and straight without bubbles? I assume a spray bottle with water???? Will that allow me to move them around if the placement is off?

Thanks.

Slightly soapy water mixed with isopropyl alcohol should do the trick. Half and half of each Mike with a good hair dryer, squeegee and pointy needle for air bubbles. Try on a small decal to see if it works out good.

Peel the backing off about 2 inches on the right side and fold it behind the rest of the backing. Line it up and hold it where it looks good, then press down the sticky side onto the bed and start squeegeeing with your finger from right to left. Peel the backing off as you go so the rest of it doesn't stick to the bed. Go from top to bottom, bottom to top as you squeegee along.

If you use the soapy water method you'll be able to move it around. But just make sure you push the water out from behind the sticker.

Let me know if you have any questions...I do this for a living :thumbsup:

Thanks Jes and Mooch. I'm gonna try the peel as I go method first. If it doesn't go well, I'll move to the soapy water technique.

I'm terrible at this type of stuff and my OCD won't let me accept anything but perfect....

That's quite the haul to put 33 decals on a bed :lol1:. Did you get them on yet?

Also how big are they? If they're larger and you want to reduce the chance of bubbles see if you can buy a vinyl squeegee or if you have a small (4" is what I use) wall paper roller hanging around and use the method I told you.

Good luck! :beer:

Well i put on the wheel decals and 3 other small ones. Using the Mooch method with help from the wife. After the kids go to bed, we're gonna get the rest on.

Btw, its a pain in the ass so far.

Soap and water makes it a breeze. Use a squeegee to get the air bubbles out if you have any.

Soap and water method works the best. Doesn't stick until your happy with it and let it dry.

I'd post a pic but then I would have to ban myself.

Best price I found was from WalMart.com...$349.99 with free shipping. And I wish they came applied. 6 sheets full to put on and the side flames are in 4 pieces!?
