They can be applied to any smooth surface, such as walls, windows, and doors and even restaurant table tops. They are a great way to personalize a space and create a focal point in a room. They can be used to add a pop of color, showcase a favorite quote or image, or create a themed space. With their versatility and ease of use,

Question: I purchased a large wall decal for my door, and it keeps peeling off. It seems like it’s sticky enough when I press it on, but when I come back a couple hours later, it’s starting to fall back of the door.

How can I make this sticker stay on the door?!

The last question I answered had a similar complaint,

Question: What is the best way to remove a decal from my wall?

I’ve addressed this topic in the past, but it’s a good question and one I’m happy to answer again so you don’t have to try to find the answer in a past article, because, as we all know, the internet is a black hole time sucker.

First, although you didn’t specifically ask this question, let me say what I hope to be the case, and that is that you painted your own walls prior to apply the wall decals or stickers,

Question:  What types of surfaces can I apply vinyl wall art?

That’s a multi-faceted question, so I’ll need to give you a multi-faceted answer.

Generically, your wall surface needs to be clean, and preferably freshly painted, but not too freshly painted or you may have problems with your wall graphics not sticking (because the paint is too damp), or sticking too well (surface may be dry but there is still residual moisture below the surface).

The wall should not have too much texture.

Question:  Are vinyl wall products removable?

All vinyl graphic products are removable, but the question will be “how much damage will pulling the wall decals off my wall cause?” And that is a valid concern, but not if you’ve prepped your wall properly before applying the wall graphics.

As I’ve mentioned in the past, your house “breathes” like you do, and even with good filtration systems, over time you will find that there is a greasy film adhering to your walls,

Question:  Can I put decals on painted wood

Generally yes. It depends, of course, on a couple factors.

The first factor is how rough is the wood the paint is on. If the wood is very rough, it would need to be sanded well before painting it. Then you can stick vinyl to it.

The other factor is how long has it been since the board was painted? Assuming the board was relatively smooth, you should wait,

Question: [Can you] tell me the difference between decals, clings, stickers, wall tattoos, stick-ons, wall tats…?!?!

Most certainly – mostly marketing terms. There are truly no differences between most wall stickers, wall tattoos, Dali wall decals, wall clings, wall stick-ons, or any other name given to wall decals.

The reality of what you find online or elsewhere is a need to differentiate oneself from one’s competition. And maybe a bit of design. Dali wall stickers, for instance, are sold based on designs that people like to purchase for their homes or kids bedrooms,

Question: Do wall stick-ons damage walls?

Do guns kill people? The only way wall stick-ons (more commonly called wall stickers or wall decals) will damage your wall is if you don’t follow the instructions for installing or removing them.

Basically, to prevent wall damage from wall decals, simply make sure your walls are freshly painted or de-greased before applying your wall decals, then, when you take them off, if needed, use a hair dryer or heat gun to help the glue to release cleanly from the wall.

Question:  How easy is it to remove Dali Wall Decals?

1. It is easy depending on the type of wall paint.

Generally, Wall Stickers, including Dali Wall Decals, are easier to release from a wall surface than most other decals applied to other surfaces, especially if applied to flat latex paint.

However, if the vinyl has affixed itself firmly to the wall that is coated with a gloss latex paint or an oil-based enamel, then you may have to grab a hair dryer or heat gun and apply some heat to the vinyl.

Question: How are Wall Decals/Stickers made?

There are a couple of standard procedures for creating wall murals using decals.

If you need hundreds or thousands of wall decals printed, then it will probably be the most cost effective to screen print them.

Screen printed decals have been around for many decades, and range in size from very small to quite large, but for the purposes of this conversation, we’ll use a 4’ x 8’ size to demonstrate how the screen printing process works.

4-Color Process Screen Printing

If your graphic is a “4CP” (four color process) print,
