Decal Install Kit — Transfer Tape + Squeegee

Every compliance decal you order needs one thing to go on right: the correct application tools. This kit gives you exactly that — clear transfer tape with an alignment grid and a felt-edge squeegee — so your CVOR decals, boat registration numbers, unit number decals, and lettering go on bubble-free the first time.

What's in the Kit

• Felt-edge vinyl squeegee — 4in hard plastic body with soft felt strip. Pushes air out without scratching the surface or tearing the decal.
• Clear application tape — medium-tack transfer tape with blue alignment grid. Lifts your decal cleanly off the backing and holds it in position while you apply.
• Step-by-step instruction card — 3-step process for doors, tanks, hull sides, and flat panels.

How to Apply Your Decal in 3 Steps

1. Tape it. Lay the transfer tape over the decal face. Run the squeegee across it firmly to bond tape to decal.
2. Peel and position. Peel the backing. Use the grid to line up the decal exactly where you want it before it touches the surface.
3. Squeegee it down. Press from centre outward. Slow strokes eliminate bubbles. Peel the transfer tape off at 45° — done.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need the Pro Kit or the Starter Kit?

The Starter Kit (5in × 10ft tape roll) covers most individual decal orders — one vehicle, one set of numbers. The Pro Kit (12in × 50ft tape roll) is built for fleet work: multiple vehicles, door lettering kits, or large decals where you want enough tape to re-position if needed.

Can I reuse the squeegee?

Yes. Clean it with a damp cloth after use. The felt strip is durable and handles hundreds of applications before needing replacement.

Will this tape work on curved surfaces like boat hulls?

Yes. The medium-tack clear tape has enough flexibility to conform to gentle curves. For tight curves (hull bow, fuel tank), apply the decal in small sections.

How do I remove bubbles after the decal is down?

Use the pointed corner of the squeegee card (or a pin) to pierce very small bubbles, then press flat. Larger bubbles usually mean the tape wasn't peeled slow enough — the squeegee prevents this when used correctly.
