I tried to apply the decal and I followed the instructions, but when I got to step 4 the decal kept sticking to the paper backing. So I am going to wait to hear back from you. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening? How can I get it to stick to the masking and not the paperback?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>This happens because of high humidity. But it can be fixed.<\/p>\n<p>Lay the graphic on a table with the paper on the bottom, the premask on the top, re-squeegee the premask. Then start back with step #1; it should work now.<\/p>\n<p>If it went through very high humidity the wax paper can tear and stick to the vinyl but not to the premask. If this happens, it takes a delicate touch using a knife\/razor blade\/finger nail (or whatever you have handy) to slide between the paper and graphic where it has torn. This is rare, but it has happened.<\/p>\n<p>If it messes up, let us know and we&#8217;ll send another one out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.signspecialist.com\/instuctions_print\/instructions4.html\">Online Decal Instructions Click Here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Have another question about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.signspecialist.com\/decals\/decals.html\">decals<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.signspecialist.com\/signs\/signs.html\">signs<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.signspecialist.com\/lettering\/lettering.html\">lettering<\/a>,<br \/>\nor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.signspecialist.com\/stripes\/fastnfurious\/fastnfurious.htm\">stripes<\/a>? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Detailed Customer Question I received my lettering today and they look great.
