2. Start at the top of your decal and peel down about half an inch of the white liner.
3. Carefully place your decal down, starting from the top, and ensure it is aligned properly. Use a squeegee to slowly smooth the decal onto the surface while continuing to peel the white liner. Be cautious not to create any creases in the sticker while using the squeegee.
4. The floor graphic should adhere right away, but it's advisable to press firmly to ensure it sticks to the floor. Once done, it's okay to walk on the graphic; however, avoid cleaning it for at least 24 hours after application.
