How to Install Moose Pak Wall Decals
Take your time – Do not rush.
Moose Pak wall decals are an easy way to change and bring some fun to almost any interior environment. Be sure to apply your wall decals to a clean dry surface.
Quick Tips
1. If your wall paint is new, please wait at least 30 days to apply.
2. Apply when the decals are at room temperature and after they have been laid flat for a few hours from shipping.
3. All the decals you’ve received have 3 layers: on the very bottom is what we call the “backing paper” which right now touching the adhesive. The top layer is the “transfer tape” and it is kind of transparent. In the middle is the decal.
4. You will need – • Scissors • Masking Tape • Level • Tape Measure
5. First find the area where you want to place the wall decal. Wipe the wall down with a DRY cloth where the wall decal is to be placed. The vinyl will not stick if there is any dust or dirt on the surface. If the wall area is damp at all it, WILL NOT stick properly.
POSITION PANELS ON WALL
Plan your design first. Place all parts on the wall with painters’ tape starting with the middle panel if applicable, and make sure you like where they are positioned. If you are happy with the positioning of your panels, leave the middle one and remove the other two panels for now. We are getting ready to stick this panel to the wall.
Grab Painters tape and stick a horizontal line across the middle panel on the wall, make 2 lines of tape to make sure the panel is secured into place and won’t move during this process. With the panel secured to the wall, lift the upper part of the panel and gently pull the backing paper away, continue to release the backing paper until you reach the horizontal line of painter’s tape. While holding the transfer tape that also has the graphic attached to it, ask your helper to pass you the scissors and cut a straight line across the backing paper, make sure you do not cut the transfer tape and the decal. Then discard the white paper.
Once the white backing is removed, be careful not to let the adhesive side of the decal fold on itself. Using both hands, hold the edges of the transfer tape and place both edges of the decal on the wall making sure it is tight and straight. Smooth the entire decal to the wall with a squeegee or credit card from center to sides, and then go over it with your hands to really seal it. Now remove the blue painter’s tape, remove the rest of the backing paper and smooth down the decal onto the wall.
Now, slowly pull up an edge of the transfer tape and peel away at a 45-degree angle along the face of the decal. If any of the decal sticks to the clear tape, stop pulling and re-press the decal and then continue to slowly peel away the transfer tape.
If applicable bring on the other panels, either side, and repeat the previous steps until finished.
With the dry towel, gently smooth out the wall decal starting from the middle and working your way out.
