Application suggestion #1
HINGE METHOD
We apply our mansion decals by using a bright light source underneath the playfield to illuminate through the mansion inserts. We then align the decal overlay, and then apply wide masking tape to the top edge of the decal.
Decal Positioned with Masking Tape
We then hinge the decal upward by applying a crease in the tape along the top edge of the decal. This creates a hinge where you can lift the decal into position by using the masking tape.
Decal Hinged Back
Retest the position by hinginging the decal into and out of position.
Decal with Back Peeled Off
Once you are assured of position, peal off the protective layer and hinge the decal into position. Start at the top and press out air as you press it onto the playfield.

Application suggestion #2
WATER LAYER
This process involves spraying a light layer of water onto the playfield before applying the decal. This allows you to slide the decal into the final alignment position. Once aligned properly, you must leave the decal undisturbed until the water layer evaporates. It is thought that this process may weaken the final adhesion, but we know of many people who use this process on a regular basis with no reported adhesion problems. The very thin mylar helps to assure very strong adhesion. This method of application allows less experience individuals to have some room for correcting misalignment problems.
