Install Laptop Decals
STEP 1: CLEAN IT
Before you start, be sure your laptop is dry and clean. Scribble decals don’t like dirty finger printed laptops. Use a dry cloth, old novelty T-shirt, or embarrassing holiday sweater to remove any dirt or residue (spaghetti sauce, places where you may have sneezed) that may prevent our graphics from adhering. We suggest using windex or some other approved cleaning solution for laptops. Also, since Scribble decals are sensitive to extreme temperatures, don’t try to put them on an oven or an ice cube. You might want to avoid bathrooms as well.
STEP 2: PLAN IT
Plan your design first. Or don’t. You can randomly put our designs on your laptop, but don’t come crying to us if it looks dumb. REMEMBER: You can remove Scribble decals once you’ve affixed them, but you cannot re-use them. Ok they might work again but we can’t be held responsible.
STEP 3: REMOVE IT
Place the Scribble decal on a flat surface, graphic side up. Take the plastic squeegee (provided in your packaging) and smooth out any air bubbles (working from the center out) that may have formed during shipping. At one corner, separate the white backing with the translucent transfer tape and (in all capital, bold-faced letters so you know it’s real important) SLOWLY peel away the white backing. If the decal is still attached to the white backing (more all capital, bold-faced letters) STOP PEELING. Re-press the decal (by denying it basic civil rights, or just with your fingers) and then continue to slowly peel away the white backing.
STEP 4: STICK IT
Once the white backing is removed, be careful not to let the adhesive side of the decal fold on itself. Using just two of your hands, hold the edges of the clear tape and place one edge of the decal on the laptop. Pressing firmly with your hand, move it slowly down over the clear transfer tape toward the opposite edge of the decal. Firmly press the entire decal to the laptop with the squeegee. If there are still air bubbles you can take a pin or exacto and make a very small hole to let out the air, press around it with your finger until the air bubble is gone. Take a couple of minutes to admire your work and maybe enjoy a little TV.
STEP 5: PEEL IT
Done watching TV? Good. Now, to finish the transfer, remove the clear tape. Slowly pull up an edge of the transfer tape and peel away at a 45-degree angle along the face of the decal. If any of the decal sticks to the clear tape, don’t worry. Seriously. Stop pulling and re-press (see same joke in Step 4) the decal to the laptop, then continue to peel off the clear tape and discard. Or put it on a pet and see how long it takes them to take it off.
STEP 6: ADMIRE IT
Look at you! You’ve just made your laptop look awesomer! Imagine what your parents might say! Like “You kids put stickers on laptop now?” and then they just kind of wander off muttering... Regardless, nice work.
