Surface Preparation

Make sure that both the surface where the magnet is to be applied and the plain brown magnetic side of the sheet are free of moisture, dirt, dust & foreign particles. Avoid use on non-metallic body fillers, simulated wood grain siding or repainted surfaces and new vehicle finishes which contain uncured paint.

In car and truck sheet applications it is recommended that the vehicle be well waxed and some rare applications may require the use of simple baby powder on the plain brown magnetic side for best results.

Magnetic Sheet Application

Before applying the magnetic sheet, make sure it has been allowed to warm to room temperature. The temperature of the metallic surface should be above freezing but not hot.

To apply, allow one edge of the magnetic sheeting to contact the metallic surface to the desired point. The remaining portion of the sheet should then be allowed to magnetically adhere itself to the magnetic surface.

To reposition the magnet do not attempt to pull it into place, this may cause stretching. Simply remove the entire magnetic sheet and again begin the procedure. It is important to make sure the magnetic sheet is applied in a smooth, lay-flat fashion.

Avoid sharp contours and do not attempt to position the magnetic sheet over vehicle mouldings or chrome strips. The entire magnetic sheet must be well adhered to the metallic surface to avoid any air pockets.

Maintenance & Cleaning

It is common for moisture to collect between the magnetic sheet and the magnetic surface. It is most important that the magnetic sheet be removed at least once a week (less often in winter as magnetic may tear) and both the metallic surface and the magnetic sheet be wiped free of moisture.

Extra caution should be exercised with new vehicle finishes. Failure to do so may result in damage to metallic surface or loss of the magnet sheet at highway speeds. For cleaning, use a soft cloth, warm water and a mild detergent.

Storage

To protect the magnetic sheet from damage while not in use, store on any metallic object such as a fridge or toolbox. This ultimately will be of help when the time comes to re-attach the magnetic sheet. Do not leave in a hot vehicle as warping may occur.
