How to glue decorative vinyl stickers on the ceiling

Decorative stickers made of polyvinyl chloride are easily glued to any surface. Before you start, you need to apply markings on the base surface and clean the ceiling of the dust. To do this, use a paint brush.

Decorative vinyl stickers are glued gradually so that no creases are formed

Adhesive material for ceilings is necessary in the following order:

• Separate the vinyl film from the substrate.
• Then attach the material to the base surface. Do this carefully, and make sure that no creases appear.
• Next, we need to separate the substrate.
• Pat the sticker with a plastic spatula. Make sure that all air is out.
• After you glue the vinyl film, you need to remove the transparent coating located on the surface of the material.
• Re-smooth the sticker with a piece of soft cloth.

Remember that you can not separate the entire label from the substrate immediately. Otherwise, creases may form on the material. Initially, it's enough to separate only 5-10 centimeters of film.
