Storage

- When not in usre, store flexible magnetic sheets in a clean, dry place

- Store rolled sign material on end with the vinyl/printed side OUT

- Stack flat magnets on level surface. Avoid placing objects on top that could damage the face; do not stack with magnetic side 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 metallic surface and magnet with mild detergent

- Wipe with a soft clean cloth and allow to dry

* Approx curing times: paint - 90 days; clear coat - 60 days; wax - 2 days

Applying

- If possible, affix to smooth, flt or gently curved metallic surfaces

- Make sure the entire magnet is flat against the metal surface (ie no air pockets)

- If placed in the wrong position, completely remove the magnet from the surface and reaffix. Do not pull the magnet across the surface, or it may stretch due to the resistance caused by the magnetic strength

- Avoid us on horizontal metal surfaces exposed to direct sunlight (such as automobile hoods) or temperatures exceeding 150F (66C)

- 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 UV rays

- Avoid use on non-metallic body filters, 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 outdoor applications), remove the magnet at regular intervals. Clean both the magnet and the metal surface with mild detergent; wipe with a soft clean cloth and allow to air-dry (For vehicle-mounted signs, remove and clean DAILY!)

- To protect freach clear coat, base coat and/or vinyl surfaces on new cars and trucks, remove magnetic signs DAILY

PROPER USE AND CARE  will extent the life of your magnetcs and protect the metallic surface to which is is applied
