DECALING (HEAT-ACTIVATED)
25
This process involves applying a hot film to the top
and a cold backing adhesive to the bottom of the
graphic. This process can be used to create self-adhe-
sive images for mounting down onto various sub-
strates. After performing this process, follow the
Mounting Instructions in the manual to apply the
decal to a substrate.
