The surface temperature should be between 40 F and 80 F when applying your decal.
Application

Alternate mounting
Purchase a smooth panel to apply wall decal to that can be moved to any wall. Available at most home improvement centers, this product is called “bath board” and is usually used to line shower walls. Just cut to size, wipe off any dust, apply your decal and mount to wall. Your wall decal can now be moved to any wall and be kept forever!
