Preparation

Tools

  • Felt squeegee
  • Glass/surface cleaner
  • Clean cloth
  • Positioning tape (masking)
  • Scissors/cutter
  • Heat gun or hair dryer
  • Spray bottle (water + 3 drops of dish soap/L)
  • Optional: second person

Before you start

  • Thoroughly clean the surface (dust/grease-free).
  • Ideal working temperature ~20 °C; do not work with cold materials/parts.
  • Depending on the bike: remove tank fairing/trim to wrap edges cleanly.
  • Dry-fit: tape corners to check positioning.
⚠️
For wet application use only ~3 drops of dish soap per liter — more can reduce adhesion.

Dry application

  1. Clean the surface (dust/grease-free).
  2. Position decal with backing + transfer tape, fix at corners. Ensure correct orientation.
  3. Fold back half, peel some backing, cut off the peeled backing.
  4. Hold lifted half (second person if needed) and squeegee from center outward. Repeat for the other side.
  5. Remove transfer tape carefully; ensure the decal stays in place. Push remaining bubbles outward.

Wet application

  1. Clean the surface (dust/grease-free).
  2. Peel backing, lightly mist adhesive and surface (water + few drops soap/L).
  3. Place decal and slide into position.
  4. From center outward, push out liquid with light even pressure. Repeat until bubbles are gone.
  5. Carefully remove transfer tape and check again for bubbles/water.

Drying times & care

Dry method: ~18 h Wet method: ~30 h +12–18 h in cold conditions
????
Do not use car wash/hand wash during curing. Afterwards, wash normally — avoid pointing pressure washer directly at edges.
boboom recommendation: wait at least 72 h before heavy cleaning or stress.

FAQs

Why light heating?

Gentle heating (heat gun/hair dryer) helps conform over curves. Do not overheat.

Small bubble left?

Tiny bubbles may disappear in 24–48 h. Alternatively, pin-prick and squeegee to an edge.
