For basic small decals, my instructions are similar to this:

1. Peel transfer paper with decal from backing paper. Ensure that entire graphic sticks to transfer paper.

2. Stick one end of decal to substrate. Holding the other side above the substrate with one hand, use a squeegee or credit card in the other and smooth the decal onto the substrate.

3. Lightly slide squeegee or credit card over the decal to ensure a sufficient bond.

4. Peel transfer paper from decals at as close to a 180 degree angle to the substrate as possible. Do NOT pull at a straight 90 degree angle.

For larger decals, I include instructions for taping at the halfway mark and applying one half at a time.
