How to Apply Ram Horn Decal Sets – Step-by-Step Guide

Properly applying your Ram Horn Decal 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

1. Prepare the helmet surface by cleaning the helmet thoroughly using mild soap and water or rubbing alcohol to remove dirt, oils, and debris.
2. 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.
3. Let the helmet dry completely before applying decals.
4. Identify key helmet features such as snaps, ear holes, vent holes, and facemask mounts that the decal must fit around. Aligning the decal with these landmarks ensures consistent placement on both sides of the helmet.
5. Trim around the outside of the decal—cut approximately ¼” beyond the printed areas, leaving a thin clear border around the edges.
6. Remove excess clear vinyl from inside and outside areas of cutout decal.
7. Position each ram horn decal so that its top front edge lines up with the top front edge of the helmet.
8. Carefully peel back a small portion of the decal liner. Pro Tip: Use a hairdryer on low heat to gently warm the decal, helping it mold to the helmet’s shape.
9. Apply the decal gradually working in sections from the front edge on back, peeling away the liner while pressing down each section as you go.
10. Smooth each section firmly using your thumbs or a decal applicator squeegee to ensure adhesion.
11. Use a razor blade to carefully trim around vent holes, snaps, or other helmet features for a clean, professional finish.
12. Repeat the process for the opposite side of the helmet, ensuring both decals are evenly aligned.
13. 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!
