Installation advice

NECESSARY TOOLS

– A pair of scissors and/or a cutter
– Degreasing product (type Degreaser G1 on our site)
– A hair dryer or a heat gun (beware of high temperatures with the gun)
– A squeegee (R1 Raclette type on our site) and/or felt (F1 Felt type on our site)
– A soft, clean cloth

BEFORE STARTING TO LAY YOUR KIT, MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN FAVORABLE CONDITIONS: IN A CLEAN AND DRY PLACE, AT A TEMPERATURE OF APPROXIMATELY 20°C.

Step 1: Preparing the supports

Clean your fairings several times with a degreaser. It is imperative to remove all traces of glue and fatty substances from the plastics, even if they are new (silicone residues from the moulds) because the glue will not adhere correctly.

Be careful, products such as gasoline, white spirit or “WD” type products can be effective on certain types of glue, but they are very greasy. Remember to degrease several times if you use it. !!
Do not use window cleaners or acetone!!

Step 2: Positioning and gluing

Position the sticker to identify its location, you can hold it in place with bodybuilder's tape. The so-called “dry” application method must be applied because the glue is easy to apply. This technology allows you to easily reposition the film on the support during its application. Apply firm, even pressure to the adhesive from the middle outward using a squeegee. If the part on which you are operating has significant relief, remember to slightly heat the sticker with a hair dryer or a heat gun (at a minimum distance of 30cm), under the effect of the heat the vinyl will take its shape and will arise more easily.

Step 3: Finishes

Finally, once the entire kit has been installed, slightly heat each part using a hair dryer or a heat gun (at a minimum distance of 30cm) and apply significant pressure to the entire kit, with particular emphasis on sensitive areas, always using a soft cloth or squeegee, from the inside out.

Tip: In case you notice an air bubble, proceed as follows. Slightly heat the adhesive at the place of the bubble, prick frankly in its center using a pin, keep it pressed,
Heat the bubble again then remove the pin while continuing to heat. The dilated hot air will thus evacuate on its own and the bubble will disappear.

Step 4: Imperative!

Let your decoration kit rest for 2-3 days, no rolling. After the pressure exerted, the adhesive must have time to polymerize and marry its new support.

Graph Cover cannot be held responsible in the event that your decoration kit is poorly centered in relation to
holes and ends, the formation of air bubbles or if it comes off your plastics. The stickers we use have an ultra-strong glue but they must be placed on clean and non-greasy surfaces.
