BODY DECALS
DESCRIPTION
TJ decals are durable tape decals with a adhesive
backing.
To eliminate blisters and air bubbles in a decal,
pierce them with a needle or pin. Force the trapped
air out of the hole.
A heat gun can also be used to remove small wrin-
kles and irregularities in a decal.
REMOVAL
NOTE: The key to successful decal removal is to
apply heat to area and slowly peel the decal from
panel.
(1) Clean the surface as necessary.
(2) Place a piece of masking tape above or below
the decal as a reference mark.
(3) Start at one end of the decal and apply heat
with a heat gun. Slowly peel the decal from the panel
by pulling it back. Do not pull the decal outward
from the panel.
