How to apply wall stickers

Before you start to apply your new Glorious Walls stickers, have a good read through these simple instructions and remember:

  • You won’t be able to reposition the vinyl after removing the backing paper, so plan carefully where you are going to put your graphic before doing so.
  • Glorious Wall stickers are not reusable items so please take great care. They can be easily removed but may become damaged in the process.
  • Take care not to damage paintwork when removing vinyls from painted walls - you may find it easier to use a hairdryer which softens the adhesive.
Clean wall surface

You can apply your wall sticker to any smooth flat surface but make sure it is clean of dirt or grit and completely dry. You must leave newly painted walls at least 2 weeks before applying wall stickers.

Cut out wall sticker

Some items will be supplied pre-cut but it you may find it easier to trim around the graphic before applying.

Place wall sticker

It is important to plan the composition carefully. Once you have decided where your sticker is going to be positioned, use masking tape to hold it in place.

Peel back backing paper

Lift graphic and carefully peel the backing paper to half way, making sure all the graphic is on the transfer paper. If the vinyl is stuck to the paper, smooth the paper back onto the transfer film until it sticks and then retry.

Move squeegee over wall sticker

Move the squeegee over the design at 45 degrees as you apply. Apply in a firm smooth motion so you don’t get any air bubbles. Remember vinyl is very sticky, so keep the rest away from the wall whilst you apply.

Peel back transfer film

Wait at least 10 minutes and then peel back the edge of transfer film and remove, pulling slowly and carefully away at 180 degrees to the vinyl. If the vinyl pulls away with the transfer film, use the squeegee some more.
