1 - Clean the surface of the boat where you will apply the lettering. Remove all dirt and wax, along with any previous lettering graphics.
( Do Not let the white backing paper get wet. You will not be able to remove the white backing paper from the stickers if you do! )

2 - Tape the lettering to the boat to position it. Use two small pieces of tape, one for each top corner of the cf number.
Do not remove any backing or paper covering. Adjust the lettering as necessary to locate it exactly where you want it to be. Use a tape measure to measure from each corner to the top of the side of the boat to make sure the lettering is level.

4 - Flip the graphic up and carefully peel back and remove the white paper backing so that the sticky side of the vinyl is exposed, As you are peeling the back away, make sure the lettering stays stuck to the clear side not the white backing paper.

5 - *Completely Optional - After the white backing paper has been remover, spritz the back of the vinyl lettering with slightly soapy water. If there is too much soap in the water, the graphic will not stick and you will have to wash off the soap with clean water. Get the backing only slightly wet.

The reason for wetting the back is that it is easier to squeegee out water bubbles than air bubbles when you apply the lettering to the boat. The water evaporates completely from under the graphic after several days.

6 - Flip the graphic slowly back down to the hull but do not press. If you followed step 5 above, It will not stick to the boat immediately because it is wet. If you skipped step 5 above it will stick immediately upon contact. Hold one lower corner taut and slightly away from the boat.

7 - Use a squeegee to press a line vertically down the middle of the graphic to create a center line of adhesion

8 - Lift up the side of the graphic without letting go of the corner you are holding. Squeegee from the line of adhesion toward the opposite side of the graphic using even pressure and a constant stroke. Squeegee that same side from the middle horizontal axis to the top and then from the horizontal axis to the bottom. Always squeegee from the center to the edges to squeeze out water and air.

9 - Repeat this process on the other side of the lettering. If you made a solid central line of adhesion, the rest of the graphic will fall into place with no problems.

10 - Squeegee the top clear transfer tape layer of the cf number again to ensure the entire graphic is pressed onto the boat.

11 - Slowly pull the clear transfer tape off the cf number from one corner carefully to avoid pulling the vinyl lettering off the hull. Pop any bubbles with a pin and press out the air or water.

12 - Don't stress, It's actually a lot easier to do than it sounds. Any Questions?
