Do you Need a Removable Custom Static Cling Vinyl Sign?

Sometimes you just need the ability to change a window decal. For example, you may have a regular sale you would like to advertise. You don't want to have the expense of buying new custom window lettering every time and having to remove them when you know it is only temporary. You can also use static cling decals for longer term promotions knowing that you can take them with you if you move at anytime without a problem.

Here are the key points to know about Custom Static Cling Vinyl Signs:

• Can be made with clear or colored backgrounds
• Static Cling business signs are recommended for store front windows
• Available in many colors from the factory including clear background

Caution: Static Cling Signs are NOT Recommended for "Vehicle Use"

Although they will technically stick to the outside of a vehicle window, we strongly advise against doing it because they simply were not designed for the wind speeds of driving. In that case you should use vinyl window lettering instead

Is it hard to install Static Cling Signs?

The following is a general recommendation on steps that can be taken to apply static cling decals. Many of the points highlighted have proven to supply trouble free performance after the application is undertaken

APPLICATION SURFACE: Clings may be applied to a variety of smooth polished surfaces such as glass, plastic, chrome, and high gloss smooth, painted surfaces.

SURFACE PREPARATION: For proper adhesion the surface must be clean and dry. This product will not adhere properly to grease, oil, or dirt.

• Remove grease and oil.
• Mild soaps or detergents warm water and soft cloth will clean the surface prior to application.
• An ammonia based window cleaner must be used on all glass surfaces.

APPLICATION TEMPERATURE: For best results, application surface and material should be at 50° F or above.

Application Methods

Wet Method - This application technique is recommended for large decals (over 12"x12").

• Prepare a wetting solution of two or three teaspoons of liquid household detergent in one gallon of cold water.
• Remove the static cling from the board and lay the material on a clean, flat surface with the side up which will be adhered to the surface.
• Flood the application surface with wetting solution, (alternate method - wetting solution can be sprayed directly on the substrate).
• Place the cling in contact with the application surface. The wetting solution will allow the decal to be slid across the application surface for positioning purposes.
• Once the material is in position, roll the water out, working from the center of the decal to the edges. Use a rubber roller or a squeegee.
• Use paper towels to blot any excess moisture. Rub the edges to ensure the clings have adhered properly.
• After 24 hours the window may be washed, but do not use a squeegee.

Dry Method - This Method is recommended to apply small static cling signs (less than 12"x12")

• Remove the static cling from the board and place it in contact with the application surface. If the material placement is incorrect, pick up the entire cling and reposition. Do not attempt to slide the cling.
• Once the material is in position, roll any trapped air out, working from the center of the cling to the edges. Use a rubber roller.

REMOVAL: This product can be easily and cleanly removed and reused. Cling needs to be stored on the board in a clean, dry environment.

REUSE: When reusing static cling, if adhesion seems low, dip material in warm water to increase adhesion, then apply.
