Decal Replacement
Flame Treating Decal Area
Plastic polyethylene material must be “flame treated" prior
to installing a decal to ensure good adhesion. The flame
treating procedure can often be used to reduce or
eliminate the whitish stress marks that are sometimes left
after a fender or cab is bent, flexed, or damaged.
1. Pass the flame tip of a propane torch back and forth
quickly over the area where the decal is to be applied
until the surface appears slightly glossy. This should
occur after just a few seconds of flame treating. Do
not hold the torch too close to the surface. Keep the
torch moving to prevent damage.
2. Apply the decal.
