Applying the Spanish Mackerel Fish Sticker
Before applying the Spanish Mackerel Fish Sticker or any fish decal to your boat, ensure the surface is spotless. Clean the area with a mild detergent and water to remove any dirt or grime that could hinder adhesion. A few drops of dishwashing liquid in warm water will do the trick.
- Positioning the Sticker: Carefully choose where to place the Spanish Mackerel Fish Sticker or fish decal on your boat and use tape to secure it. Ensure it’s centred and aligned properly. Stepping right back and looking at the position from a distance is the best way to get good placement.
- Peeling Off the Backing: Gently peel off the sticker’s backing, avoiding touching the adhesive side too much. This will prevent transferring oils that could affect adhesion.
- Applying the Sticker: Apply the sticker to the boat’s surface slowly, starting from one edge and working your way across. Smooth out any air bubbles as you go using a squeegee or credit card.
- Removing Air Bubbles: If air bubbles form under the sticker, don’t panic. Use a pin or needle to carefully puncture the bubble, then press the air out toward the puncture point. Smooth over the area with your finger or the squeegee to ensure proper adhesion.
Final Touches and Maintenance
Once the Spanish Mackerel Fish Sticker or fish decal is applied, give it a final inspection to ensure it’s securely in place and free of imperfections. Avoid 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, touching up any damaged areas as needed. With proper care, your fish sticker will add flair to your boat for years to come.
