Preparing Your Boat for the Coral Trout Fish Sticker
Before applying the Coral Trout Fish Sticker or any fish decal to your boat, it’s essential to prepare the surface. Start by cleaning the area where you plan to place the sticker with a mild detergent and water. This will remove any dirt, grime, or residue that could hinder adhesion. A few drops of dishwashing liquid with warm water will do the trick. Let the surface dry completely before continuing.
Applying the Coral Trout Fish Sticker
- Positioning the Sticker: Take your time to carefully position the Coral Trout Fish Sticker or fish decal on your boat. Ensure it’s centred and aligned correctly for the best aesthetic appeal. Fix the sticker in place with some tape and step back from the boat. Looking at the placement from a distance will help.
- Peeling Off the Backing: Gently peel off the backing of the sticker, being careful not to touch the adhesive side with your fingers to avoid transferring too much oil that could affect adhesion.
- Applying the Sticker: Slowly lower the sticker onto the boat’s surface, starting from one edge and working your way to the other. Use a squeegee or credit card to smooth out any air bubbles as you go.
- Removing Air Bubbles: If you notice any air bubbles trapped under the sticker, don’t worry. Use a pin or needle to carefully puncture the bubble, then press the air out towards the puncture point. Smooth over the area with your finger or the squeegee to ensure proper adhesion.
Final Touches and Maintenance
Once the Coral Trout Fish Sticker or fish decal is applied, give it a final inspection to ensure it’s securely in place and free of imperfections. Avoid exposing the sticker to harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage both the sticker and your boat’s finish. Regularly check the sticker for signs of wear and tear, and if necessary, touch up any areas that may have become damaged over time. With proper care, your fish sticker will enhance the appearance of your boat for years to come.
