The next morning, you wake up and what do you do? Of course! you go back to the Nursery to continue to soak in the beauty.

But this time, oh no! DISASTER! your Vinyl Decal is peeling off the wall!!!! What went wrong? What did I do? You wondered. The answer is: nothing, you did nothing wrong... (well, at least not in regards to your decal application)
After more than 7 years doing this, we have experienced a variety of situational environments, materials and wall paints. Based on our own experience (yes we paint walls too on our free time) and our customer's experience, we have pinpoint 3 different issues that might be the cause of this disaster pictured above:

Yes, you should do this step before the decal failed to adhere to your wall, however, it might not be too late to do this step. VOCs can be cleaned with baking soda or alcohol and if these VOCs are preventing your decal to stick, this cleaning method could be the solution. Lets say your wall decal is peeling on the edges. Try peeling a little more than what is lifting, and try our Enhance Adhesive Cleaning method on that area. Make sure you let it dry and warm up after cleaning (alcohol tends to lower the temperature on the surface)

NOTE: If the decal has been applied to very dirty walls, the adhesive now has some particles of dust and it wont' stick. This option will only work if the wall was mostly clean to begin with.

WARM THE DECAL AND SMOOTH DOWN THE AREAS THAT AREN’T STICKING

Adhesive activates with heat. Maybe, at the time when you installed your decal, the wall was very cold and the adhesive needs some help waking up. So, grab a hair dryer and start blowing an area wall sticker at a safe distance (do not burn your house while doing so!) and push down to smooth it to the wall. NOTE: If the decal has been applied to dirty walls, the adhesive now has some particles of dust and it wont' stick. This option will only work if the wall was clean to begin with.
