Sanding the Relief from the Instrument Panel Plastic Part
Applying SPACE Decal to its Position
Use tweezers to hold the SPACE decal in place, applying and spreading
a drop of dispersion adhesive underneath, typically requiring only a few
drops of water. Instant super glue is not recommended for SPACE decals.
Gently press the SPACE
decal onto a kitchen
sponge soaked in
slightly detergented
water to wet only the
backing paper. Avoid
soaking the entire decal
to prevent swelling.
Pressing SPACE Decal
to Remove Excess
Water
After applying the
SPACE decal, press
it with a finger wrapped
in cloth or roll it with
a cotton swab to remove
excess water.
Carefully Cutting
the SPACE Decal
with Scissors
Due to its strength,
the SPACE decal can
be removed from the
backing paper after
about one minute, in
contrast to classic
decals.
