Applying Decals
Before applying boat registration decals (if required), clean the area with alcohol or any solvent that does not leave a residue. Make sure solvent is
put aside and is dry. Using a propane torch, lightly pass the flame back and forth over the area where the decals will be applied. Don’t try to heat
the surface. This process will enhance the adhesion of the decals.
