• When storing your magnetic signs, keep them in a clean, dry place.
• Store your rolled magnetic signs on end with the vinyl side out.
• When storing flat, be sure to store them 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 magnetic sheet 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 and allow to dry.
*(Approximate curing times: paint—90 days; clear coat—60 days; wax—2 days.)
Applying Flexible Magnet
• If possible, affix to 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 re-affix. Do
not pull the magnet across the surface.
• Avoid use on horizontal metal surfaces exposed to direct sunlight (such as automobile hoods), temperatures
exceeding 160° F (71° C) or temperatures below -15° F (-26° C). Exposure to cold weather will make the magnet
more brittle so use caution when handling.
• 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 Flexible Magnet
• 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 DAILY.)
• After waxing and polishing, allow 2 days for wax to cure before applying magnets.
