Description
The Chrome Yellowfin Tuna Fish Sticker is printed on quality marine grade vinyl using UV stable inks and over-laminated for extra protection.
All fish stickers are sent out as a mirror set.
There is no background, the decals are contour cut to the shape of the tuna.
Preparing the boat Surface For Fish Sticker:
- To ensure a successful application of your tuna fish twin set of stickers, thoroughly clean the surface of your boat.
- Use a mild detergent and water solution to remove any dirt, grease, or wax residue. A small amount of dishwashing liquid is good for this.
- Rinse the surface with clean water and allow it to dry completely before proceeding.
How to Position the Chrome Yellowfin Tuna Fish Sticker:
- Position one of the tuna fish stickers on the desired location of your boat. Use a ruler to check the distance between the gunnel and the sticker on each side.
- Using masking tape, create a hinge down the middle of the sticker and a couple of tabs across the top
- Stand back and look at the boat from a distance so both fish stickers are positioned well.
Applying a vinyl sticker:
- Ensuring the fish sticker is straight and evenly aligned with the boat’s surface use the tape down the middle of the sticker as a temporary hinge, facilitating the application process.
- Gently peel back the backing tape from one half of the sticker, exposing the adhesive side. Take care not to touch the adhesive with your fingers to prevent any contamination.
- Working from the middle of the sticker out use a credit card to smooth the sticker to the side of the boat carefully. A smooth motion from the centre out will help reduce bubbles.
How to get rid of bubbles in your vinyl:
- Any bubbles in your vinyl will pop with a small pin then press the air towards the centre. The vinyl will be flat and the small pinhole not visible.
Caring for Your Vinyl Fish Sticker:
- Avoid exposing your decals to harsh chemicals, and abrasive cleaners.
- Clean the stickers gently with a mild soap and water solution and a soft cloth.
- Avoid scrubbing or rubbing the stickers vigorously to prevent damage to the vinyl.
Removing an old decal:
- Remove an old decal from your boat by applying heat with a hairdryer or heat gun to soften the adhesive.
- Once the adhesive is warm and pliable, carefully peel off the sticker using a plastic scraper or credit card.
- Leftover adhesive can be removed with a mild solvent or adhesive remover, followed by cleaning the area with soap and water.
