DECAL REPLACEMENT

Plastic polyethylene material must be "flame treated" prior to installing a decal to ensure good adhesion. The
flame treating procedure can often be used to reduce or eliminate the whitish stress marks that are sometimes
left after a fender or cab is bent, flexed, or damaged.
WARNING
The following procedure involves the use of an open flame. Perform this procedure in a well ventilated area,
away from gasoline or other flammable materials. Be sure the area to be flame treated is clean and free of gasoline
or flammable residue.
To flame treat the decal area:
1. Pass the flame of a propane torch back and forth quickly over the area where the decal is to be applied until the
surface appears slightly glossy. This should occur after just a few seconds of flame treating. Do not hold the
torch too close to the surface. Keep the torch moving to prevent damage.
2. Apply the decal.
