Start with a clean surface.

- Peel the backing from the "translucent" frontal covering.  
*** The decal stays with the front covering ***

- Starting with a corner and then edge, roll the decal/covering across the hull.  Press into place as you go.

- Rub the decal on through the covering and then carefully peel the covering away.

- Small air bubbles will get trapped underneath the decal. Pop them with a needle and press the air out. (It won't be noticable when you stand back.)

Don't mind the pic resolution - they look great.  
Send me a PM if there remains any questions regarding application.

There may be a difference between a 'sticker' and a 'decal'. This is a sticker IMO. A clean dry surface is required. I'd also assume that you may want to remove any wax first with ammonia before application and once it's on, it's on. YB and others would know more about this and I don't know if anyone actually has theirs yet but I don't think moisture of any kind is a good idea unless you don't want it to stick.

I put mine on this afternoon. Before I did, I wrote the people that produced them:
"...what you would suggest as the best way to apply...?"

"Good Afternoon David,
     What we usually use is denatured alcohol to clean the surface, this makes sure any dirt and grim or even oil residue is completely gone and a credit card will work to apply the decal mattering the size, if it is small it should work out for you. Try putting down the decal dry, this will avoid the bubbles all together..."

So, I cleaned the surface with denatured and used a credit card to apply the labels. No air bubbles no problems. The hardest thing was first pealing off the backing. I found it worked best to pull 180 degrees directly back (slowly, carefully) on a flat surface to keep the logo attached to the front covering. The URL was most difficult to peal the backing from but once I rubbed it on the canoe it was much easier to peal the front off using the same technique.

It looks just like the name and pinstripes that came on my canoe and the thickness is about the same too. The original stuff is still hanging on after 16 years, although there are few nicks - none of which were memorable.

received mine today -already started applying them.. they are awesome thanks much

DB, also received my QJ decals today, thanks, they look Great.
