Everyone knows how important the decals and stickers are when it comes to business promotion. The companies do not spend a heavy budget on TV commercials and other advertising means but they choose the decals. They are cheap, cost-effective, and can be used for the long-term. It does not matter if you will place them on different surfaces for a week or for many years, they will work wonderfully. They are only placed at the exterior surfaces such as doors, windows, car screens, or other places. The application is simplest and easy but to make it effective, you have to know about different weather conditions. In the cold weather, their application becomes difficult because of the freezing temperature, strong winds, and snowfall.

There are some techniques that can be used when the temperature is 20º F. To avoid the issues with your customers about the decal stickers and their installation; you need to follow these ways.

Wetting Solution:

You can use isopropyl alcohol because it is a wonderful wetting solution. You can buy it from any paint store, company or from the retail market. You should avoid using glass cleaners and water solutions because they will not work out.

Keep The Decals Warm:

If the weather is too cold then you have to keep your decal stickers warm before using them. If the location is closed then you have to bring the stickers on the room temperature. If they will on the normal temperature, it will become easier to apply them and the glue will hold the surface firmly.

Clean The Surface:

Now after heating it up, you have to properly clean the surface to remove any snow or water drops. Use a clean cloth for this purpose and eliminate any interrupting factor. The wetting solution will help in evaporating the surface.

These Are The Installation Techniques That You Must Have To Follow:

First, determine the size of the decals because small decals can be applied by spraying on the backside of them with a wetting solution.

Now, place it at any desired location where you want to apply it. Apply some wetting solution on the front side with the help of a squeegee and slide over the decal.

Use a soft squeegee that will work from the middle to the edges but make smooth strokes. Make sure all the edges are tight so no air or water or wetting solution will enter it.

For larger decals, you have to apply the wetting solution to the entire area where it will be applied. You have to remove one-third of backing and then place it on the surface.

Now check if the graphics are on the right side and in the right position or not. If not, make adjustments otherwise remove the entire backing. Now again use the squeegee for making the surface smooth.

Check The Applied Decals:

After you are done with the application process, you have to see if there are any bubbles there. If yes, try to eliminate all of them because it is not good to leave them. The water or air will enter and will make them remove easily. The grip of glue will become weak, so use a blade or card for this purpose. In the end, use the cloth for removing of wetting solution.

Make sure that you have all the important tools and equipment that will make the application job easy and fast. The wet solutions are flammable and you have to use them in the external areas only. Stay aware of the slippery conditions in the snowfall. Typically the decals and stickers can be applied to the normal temperature in the range of 40 to 50 F. It depends on the flexibility of the sticker’s glue. When the temperature falls, the flexibility will decrease and it will put great pressure on the sensitive glue. If both factors will fail, the application of decals will not be good enough. So, you have to take care of the weather condition and avoid applying them, especially in the rain. Water will not let you put it on the surfaces but internal side application is possible and you can do it without any problem.
