Removable wall stickers have a special adhesive formulated for tackiness but in a way that leaves no marks on the walls. Further, these stickers can be used and reused several times before the tack quality decreases. You can buy a variety of wall stickers Sydney based suppliers offer. These stickers may be in small manageable sizes that can be affixed to the wall to create a composition. You could just as easily order a single large size wall sticker and affix it to the wall. Just do it right with these steps.
Know the sticker
When you order wall stickers online you receive them properly packed. The main vinyl sticker sheet has a cling film type covering on it to protect the surface. At the back of the sticker you have the glue part covered by a removable silicone coated sheet. The adhesive is the important thing in removable wall stickers Sydney manufacturers supply so you must know how to apply it right. If the adhesive part comes in contact with oil or grease or dirt it loses its tackiness. Therefore, follow these steps for proper adhesion and reusability.
Prepare the surface
Check the surface on which you plan to affix the stickers. Stickers are best applied on smooth surfaces. Stucco and textured surfaces may not be conducive to proper adhesion. Now that this is done you should give the wall a wipe with a cloth dipped in dilute mild detergent solution to remove traces of oil, if any. Wait for an hour or so for the wall to dry. If it is a freshly painted wall, you need not wash it but you will have to wait for a couple of weeks before you proceed.
Applying the wall sticker
Visualize where you will apply the sticker and mark the position with a pencil or chalk.Lay the stickers on the floor. If they are rolled up then roll them flat. Use the palm of your hand or a roller to flatten the sticker. Place the sticker, with top protective cover and back cover at the mark and use masking tape to suspend it. Lift the backing sheet from the top of the sticker and press the sticker to the wall using your hands. Keep unpeeling the backing sheet and simultaneously pressing the sticker in place with something flat like a ruler or a squeegee. Make sure there are no air bubbles.
Repeat the process for all stickers in the set of wall stickers.
Type of sticker
The method changes slightly depending on the type of sticker. If it is a decal or a transfer type sticker then you will need to be very careful with precise positioning and keep the transfer paper on while removing the backing sheet. Once the sticker is affixed you should run a squeegee or roller over the transfer paper to ensure proper adhesion.
Removable wall stickers are more forgiving in that you can remove and reposition but it is best to plan and do it right at the first attempt.
