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 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.
