7.3 LARGE EMBLEMSAND LETTERS USING HINGE
APPLICATION METHOD.
Apply these decals using a “Hinge” method as outlined
below.
a. Tape decal into position with small pieces of masking
tape (See Figure 7-3) as step 1.
b. Apply 1 inch or 2 inches wide tape over one edge to
serve as a hinge. Whenever possible, hinge narrow edge.
(See Figure 7-4). If the surface requires that the longer
edge be hinged, it may be necessary to use the carrier
method. Bending the decal back at the hinge, peel the
liner off of the decal. For large decals, it may be more
convenient to peel the liner back a few inches at a time
as the application progresses. (See Figure 7-5.) - Steps 2
and 3.
c. Hinge back and squeegee or roll the emblem to surface
with firm, overlapping strokes. Hold sheeting away from
