Preparing Your Surface for Stickercanada Custom Stickers

Before you start applying your custom stickers, make sure the surface is clean and dry. Any dirt, dust, or moisture can affect the adhesive and cause bubbles or peeling. Give the surface a good wipe down with a soft cloth and let it air dry completely.
