Boat name install

Do your best to align the decal or letter parallel with another part on the boat. Measure down and use a pencil line that you will rub off later. The soapy water, in a spray bottle will not affect the line. Lots of water and work bubbles from the inside out! Good luck

I have always used windex instead of soapy water. Probably not much difference, but the windex seems to evaporate faster which I think reduces the time to full adhesion....which might be a negative if the decal is huge. Oh, and don't use a credit card....pony up a dollar for a fairly rigid plastic squeegee.

You probably already know, but be sure and use a mild solvent or alcohol to wipe down the area prior to the installation. Removal of the wax will greatly enhance the adhesion of the vinyl.

I like to use the blue painters tape as an alignment method. It's easy to remove and won't leave any residue.

Good luck!
