    I think these are the thinnest stickers I have ever seen or used.

    To put them on you must just peal off the top say 5mm to 10mm of sticker straight across the top.
    Stick the top part of the sticker on the window and then slowly peel down the backing carefully rubbing on the sticker towards where you are peeling it from. Take it slowly, and make sure you clean the surface and it is dry before putting it on.

    Mine is on but it looks a lot like the shape of a boomerang. Great design but the quality is a bit suss.

    No Dranged it aint you, after the meeting the other night I spent 10 minutes and all I was getting was paper back, then finally I got the sticky part, got it on but it is very delicate, would be best to start to peel put on spot and the slowly peel off the paper.

    I have yet to put mine on yet but I did a fair bit of pin striping in my youth.

    Get a container and put some LUKE warm water in it and then put one or two drips of washing up detergent in the water.

    Swirl it around and then put your pointer finger and thumb in it and rub them together while in the water.

    If they feel slippery then you have enough soap in the water.

    If they still feel rough then add another drip or two till you get it right.

    DO NOT put too much soap in or when the sticker dries, it will peal off again.

    Make sure the window is clean. A good way to clean any window is with a soapy steel wool pad and NO it won’t scratch the glass but it will remove just about everything that sticks to glass.

    Peel the back off the sticker and put it in the soapy water. If the soap content is correct, the sticker once wet will not stick to your fingers.

    Wet the glass with some of the soapy water and then place the sticker on the window and slide it around till you have it in the position you want.

    Now get a clean face washer and roll it over the sticker. Because the sticker is so thin, do not wipe the sticker.

    You can pat it but rolling the washer over the sticker will force the water out and absorb it at the same time.

    That’s it, oh and when this does not work, don’t call me, I’m not home.

    Hmmmm so what you're saying is that i went overboard with creating stickers that will last around 5-10 years AND should have included instructions of how to put on

    Woops.

    Thanks Drivesafe, you saved me having to type up the instructions... that is the perfect way to do it... guess you can all tell i don't usually put stickers on and the only experience i have had is with vehicle wraps (a vehicle with a picture that covers the whole thing) 8O

    Sorry guys... and good luck. Also if having real problems, let me know and we can put on at the next outing.
