When
not using your flexible magnetic sign, keep it in a clean, dry place.
Store your rolled magnetic sign on end with the printed or vinyl
side out.
When storing flat, be sure your magnet is on a level surface.
Avoid placing objects on top that could damage the face; do not
stack with magnetic sides facing each other.
Preparing
Magnetic-Receptive Surfaces
Before
affixing your magnetic sign to a metal surface, be sure all surface
paints, clear coats and waxes are cured (hardened).*
Clean
the metallic surface and the magnet with mild detergent.
Wipe
with a soft cloth or allow to dry. *(Approximate curing times: paint-90
days; clear coat-60 days; wax-2 days.)
Applying Magnetic Signs
If possible, affix to a smooth, flat or gently curved metallic
surfaces.
Make sure the entire magnet is flat against the metal surface
(i.e., no air pockets).
If you place the magnet in the wrong position, completely remove
the magnet from the surface and reaffix. Do not pull the magnetic
sign across the surface, or it may stretch due to the resistance
caused by the high magnetic strength.
Avoid use on horizontal metal surfaces exposed to direct sunlight
(such as automobile hoods) or temperatures exceeding 150 degrees
F.
Be aware that long-term use on surfaces frequently exposed to
sunlight (such as vehicles) can result in uneven fading of the surface
because the magnet-covered area is shielded from ultraviolet rays.
Avoid use on non-metallic body fillers, simulated wood grain siding
and repainted surfaces.
Cleaning Magnetic Sign
To guard against moisture and dirt buildup between the magnet
and the metal surface (particularly on outdoor applications), remove
the magnet at regular intervals. Clean both the magnet and metal
surface with mild detergent; wipe with a soft cloth or allow to
air-dry. (For vehicle-mounted signs, remove and clean WEEKLY.)
To protect fresh clear coat, base coat and/or vinyl surfaces on
new cars and trucks, remove magnetic signs DAILY.
Proper
use and care will extend the life of your magnetic sign and protect
the metallic surface to which it is applied.
