For satisfactory installation of self adhesive signs, posters and tapes, surfaces should be smooth, clean, dust and grease free. Peel off the backing paper, align the item to ensure it is straight, and allow one edge to stick to the mounting surface. Work away from the centre of this edge gently smoothing the product into place with a wad of soft clean cloth, ensuring no air bubbles are trapped. NB. Self-adhesive products are not suitable for applying to emulsion surfaces.
Rigid signs can be drilled at each corner for mechanical fixing and suspension from the deck head, or can be fixed in place using applied adhesives, double sided adhesive pads or suspension kits.
Where adhesives are used the sign should be temporarily fixed in place using adhesive tape along its top edge so that a hinge is formed. Once this is done flip the sign up to reveal the back and apply the adhesive. Turn the sign back down allowing it to stick to the bulkhead. Apply pressure with a wad of soft cloth and ensure a good contact by adding additional tape until the adhesive has cured.
