Know before you buy
The decal is made from Oracal 631 vinyl, which is designed for interior use and is easily removable without causing surface damage. However, it is intended for a one-time application and cannot be reused once removed.
No, this is a die-cut decal, meaning there is no background or clear film surrounding the text. Once applied, it will look like a professional, hand-painted stencil directly on your wall.
These decals adhere best to smooth, clean, and dry surfaces like painted drywall, glass, or finished wood. They are not recommended for highly textured walls, as the texture can prevent the adhesive from creating a secure bond.
It is designed to be user-friendly. Each order includes a squeegee tool, detailed step-by-step instructions, and a practice decal so you can get comfortable with the process before applying the main piece.
The matte finish is specifically chosen to minimize light reflection. This helps the decal blend seamlessly into your wall, giving it a soft, non-glossy appearance that mimics the look of high-end paint.
