How to Apply Die Cut Bengal Stripe Decal Sets – Step-by-Step Guide
Properly applying your Die Cut Bengal Stripe Set ensures a professional look and long-lasting durability. Follow these steps carefully for the best results.
Before You Begin: Proper Storage
- Store decals in a cool, air-conditioned place to maintain adhesive strength.
- Prevent curling by placing decals upside down and setting a flat, heavy object on top.
Application Steps
- Prepare the helmet surface by cleaning the helmet thoroughly using mild soap and water or rubbing alcohol to remove dirt, oils, and debris.
- For best results, apply ProPrep Helmet Polish to further clean and prepare the surface. ProPrep creates a protective barrier between the helmet and the decal, making it easier to apply and remove decals cleanly during the season.
- Let the helmet dry completely before applying decals.
- Start with the first stripe and position it a few inches behind the front bumper. Peel off the backing and carefully press the stripe onto the helmet, smoothing it out to avoid air bubbles.
- Continue applying each stripe moving toward the back, keeping a few inches in between each stripe.
- Smooth and press each stripe into place to prevent bubbles and wrinkles.
- Final Touches & Care Tips
- Double-check all edges to ensure they are firmly pressed down.
- Allow the decals to set for several hours before using the helmet.
- Avoid excessive heat, such as storing helmets in hot cars, as it can weaken the adhesive.
- When cleaning, use mild soap and water—avoid harsh scrubbing around the decals to prevent peeling.
By following these steps, your helmets will have a clean, professional finish, ensuring your team looks as sharp as they play!
