Approved Surfaces
Our wall decals are approved for use on the below surfaces:
- Painted Walls
- Ceramic Tile
- Wood
- Metal
- Plastic
- Glass/Mirrors
To successfully apply your decal, you will need a surface that is smooth, dry, and flat. Textured surfaces will not allow your decal to stick correctly. It's also important to note that walls treated with certain 'wash and wear' paints containing Teflon or low VOCs may mean that your decals will not work correctly.
Wall Preparation: If you're unsure about the type of paint used on your walls, it's best to take precautions to ensure that it's not going to interfere with your wall decals.
Preparing your walls with a product like Viponds Prep Coat ensures that your wall is ready for your decal, will adhere correctly, and will not cause any damage. Viponds Prep Coat is transparent, and specifically designed to make walls decal-friendly.
Instructions for Applying Wall Decals
Small Decals:
- Choose the location for your decal and carefully plan the placement, making sure it will fit.
- Slowly and carefully, remove the decal from the backing paper.
- Apply the decal to the wall, smoothing out any wrinkles or bubbles with a credit card.
- To reposition the decal, carefully lift an edge and slowly peel it off the wall following the directions below.
Large Decals:
- Choose the location for your decal and carefully plan the placement, making sure it will fit.
- Cut around any pieces of the decal to make it easier to manage.
- Carefully and slowly, peel back a corner and fold 10-15cm of the backing paper, exposing the sticky side of the decal.
- Apply the exposed decal to the wall, holding it firmly in place.
- Carefully remove the remaining backing paper while holding the decal in place, and smoothing it down as you press. This is easier with 2 people!
- Get rid of any bubbles by carefully smoothing out with a credit card, pushing out from the centre to the edges.
Removing Your Wall Decals
To remove your wall decals, gently peel back from one corner and slowly remove.
If you find there is some resistance, use the warm setting on a hairdryer and apply to the decals until the edges begin to curl up, and then gently remove.
Important Reminder
Proper preparation is essential! If your walls are painted with washable, Teflon, or similar types of paind, ensure they are primed appropriately with Viponds Prep Coat. Failure to do so may result in decals not adhering properly, and potentially causing damage upon removal.
Please note that My Snug Bug is not responsible for issues due to inadequate wall preparation and does not offer refunds for decals that fail to stick, or cause any damage when removed. If in doubt, use a suitable primer.
Things To Note:
New Paint Application: Allow at least 4-6 weeks after painting before using Viponds or applying any decals.
Safety Precautions:
Not for Play: Despite their appeal, decals are not toys and pose a choking hazard to children. To prevent easy removal by children, position decals out of reach. Avoid placing them directly above a child's bed.
Addressing Damage: It's crucial before purchasing or applying your decals, to ensure that your wall is smooth, flat, dry, and not recently painted. We also recommend ensuring that your wall is prepared for your decal by following all instructions above.
While occasional wall damage may occur during decal application or removal, My Snug Bug unfortunately does not cover the costs for any damages caused by removal or application.
