Decal Replacement

Flame Treating Decal Area
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. Wear the appropriate safety equipment
at all times. Perform this procedure in a well
ventilated area, away from gasoline or other
flammable materials. Verify the area to be flame
treated is clean and free of gasoline or flammable
1. Pass the flame tip 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.
