How Do I Apply UltraCal Decals?

Quick Answer

Lift, place, and press. UltraCal decals are peel-and-stick—no water, no soaking, no waiting.

Step-by-Step Application

What You'll Need:

• Clean, dry surface
• Rubbing alcohol (for surface prep)
• Tweezers (optional, for small decals)
• Soft cloth or applicator tool

Application Steps:

1. Prep the Surface
   • Clean your model with rubbing alcohol
   • Let it dry completely
   • Ensure no dust, oil, or residue remains
2. Position the Decal
   • Carefully peel the decal from the backing sheet
   • Hold by the edges to avoid fingerprints on the adhesive
   • Position over your target area before making contact
3. Apply and Press
   • Once positioned, press the decal onto the surface
   • Use a soft cloth or your finger to smooth from the center outward
   • This removes air bubbles and ensures full adhesion
4. Final Touches
   • Press firmly on all edges
   • The decal will conform to gentle curves and surface details
   • Allow 24 hours for full adhesion before handling extensively

Pro Tips

• Curves & Contours: UltraCal decals are flexible and will conform to curved surfaces. Work slowly and press as you go.
• Repositioning: You have a short window to adjust placement before the adhesive fully grips. Work carefully but don't panic.
• Small Decals: Use tweezers for tiny pieces—it gives you better control and keeps oils from your fingers off the adhesive.

That's it! No water baths, no setting solutions, no drying time before handling. UltraCal's peel-and-stick design means you can decal an entire car in a fraction of the time.
