INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE TIPS
Before You Apply Magnetic Signs
The magnetic sign and metal surface should be clean
and dry. In any outdoor application, such as car signs, the metal surface
should be waxed.
Application Tips for Magnetic Signs
Magnetic Sheeting holds best to flat surfaces and surfaces with slight
curves. When the magnetic signs are placed in the wrong position, remove
the sign and realign. Do not pull the magnetic sign to realign when
it is against the surface, as the material may stretch due to resistance
cause by the high magnetic strength. Make sure the entire magnet is
against
the metal surface (no air pockets). Do not apply to newly repainted
surfaces. Do not apply the signs over sharp creases or moldings.
Cleaning Magnetic Signs
Some moisture and dirt could collect behind magnetic signs. Remove
and clean both the signs and the surface with mild detergent and allow
both
to dry. Repeat cleaning process weekly when used in an outdoor environment.
For extra assurance, remove and clean signs daily during harsh weather
conditions.
Storing Your Signs When Not in Use
The magnetic sheet is more pliable and easier to work with when it is near room temperature when applied. The best way to store magnetic signs is flat. Avoid laying signs on protruding objects. Roll the signs loosely. Save the box the signs were shipped in for storage.
Frequently
Asked Questions
Q. What is the normal turn around time for an order?
A. The turn around time depends on the order. In all cases, we get the
job done as fast as possible. For an average job, the turn around time
is 2-3
business days, but it all depends on size, quantity, availability, etc. We
always try to meet any of your deadline requests.
Q. Will your magnetic signs stick to all vehicles?
A. No, there are a few specific cars and trucks magnetics will simply not
stick to (ie corvettes) due to there being no metal, or low amounts of metal
in the doors. There are also situations where there has been work done on
the car, bondo or other automotive body repair items, that will make the
door no longer magnetic receivable. However, there is a simple way to check
if your car door will accept a magnetic. Simply get a magnet that you are
certain sticks to something metal (IE your refrigerator) and check if it
will stick to your door. Please take care not to scratch your car with this
magnet.
Q. How long will this last in the weather?
