To position the transfer properly, you should carefully align the pieces of the transfer sheet to the correct position on the new surface.

After removing the backing from the prima transfers, you should experiment with placement. After positioning your transfer, tack it into place by gently pulling back one to two inches of the release paper. Once the transfer is in position, carefully peel back the remaining backing until you can remove it without lifting it. Have a look at the rub down transfer. You can also use painters tape to secure the edges of the transfer.

Do you remove backing from vinyl before cutting?

If you’re able to position the vinyl transfer properly before removing the backing, you can use weeding tools to remove the remaining backing paper.

Once the sticker is properly positioned, remove the masking tape and lift it up, like a hinge. Once it is in the desired location, lift it with your other hand, pressing it from the center outwards and top to bottom.
