PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU START!
 
I'm so excited and just want to get my design up, how important is it to clean the surface before I start?VERY! If there is dirt, oil or any residue on the surface the vinyl will not adhere correctly. 

Does Alphabet Designs work in the bathroom? Yes! On the wall that is...if you install it right on the bathtub or shower it will not stay for long!

Is my Alphabet Design easily removable? Yes! Our vinyl is a low tack adhesive that is safe for surfaces. However, if you run a hair blower over your lettering before removing it, it will help release the adhesive. Since the vinyl is removable, make sure your little angels won't be able to reach! 

How do I get it on straight? To achieve a straight alignment, make sure you align the lettering of the quote and not the white paper around it. Measure from all sides and always measure twice! 

Does Alphabet Designs stick to everything? Most paints and textured surfaces are compatible with our vinyl. However, with fabric , sandy walls and  some matte paints it may not stick.  We suggest to ask for a sample if you are not sure. Make sure you wait at least one month after painting your wall to hang your designs.  After a month, try with a piece of masking tape, and if it doesn't remove any paint you are ready to go! (Make sure you try in an inconspicuous area!

How long can I store my Alphabet Design? If you store your Alphabet Design too long before applying it loses its ability to stick and may not adhere well. If you have to store it for a while (make sure it's not more then a year) and make sure it's in a dry clean area at temperature below 10O. It's best to keep it in the box it came in.

Can I use my Alphabet Designs on wallpaper? Yes!  Remember your designs look best on solid colors so it will not get lost in the pattern and design of the wallpaper.

How long will my Alphabet Design stick for? As long as you want it to! The sun will fade your paint over time so when you remove your design there may be a faint ghost line from the lettering.

Can I clean my walls after I apply it? Of course, just make sure you use cleaners not containing alcohol or abrasives.

Is my wall too bumpy to use Alphabet Design with? Our vinyl is very thin and is meant to mold and follow the grooves of the wall.  (Although, every wall is different) However, sandy type paint surfaces may not give the vinyl any place to grab on to.  Our vinyl can be used on many surfaces; walls, windows, mirrors, tile, ceramic, wood and metal, and can be used both indoors and outdoors.  It will not stick to rough or uneven surfaces like cinder block, brick or stucco. If you are unsure of your surface we would be happy to send you a sample to try out first.

Can I reuse my vinyl lettering design? No, our vinyl is used for one application only. 

How long will it take to get my order? Most orders are shipped within 10 business days. 

Can I track my order? Yes! Just drop us an email sales@west57design.com

Where is Alphabet Design vinyl lettering and graphics made? All orders are made in the USA with no toxic materials.  If applying in a room with children, please make sure little ones can't reach, although they are not toxic, they are not meant for little ones who may choke if they pull it off the wall.
