(a) With gaps of 2.53 mm (0.0996 in.) and greater, cut the decal at the center of the gap and wrap the decal around both edges. See Method A.
(b) With gaps of less than 2.53 mm (0.0996 in.), cut the decal flush with the front or upper edge of the joint and wrap the decal around the rear or lower edge. See Method B.
(2) Decals applied across lap joints.
(a) The decal, when it is applied, is wrapped smoothly and continuously around the edge of the lap joint. See Method C (preferred method).
(3) Decals applied to exterior emergency exit handles. See Method E.
(a) Before removing the backing paper, place the decal on the handle and slit the decal overlap around each rounded corner.
(b) Remove the backing paper and apply the decal, pressing the overlap around the edges of the handle.
(4) Cut decals, except pressure sensitive Polyester, around the heads of fasteners on removable panels and punch the decal into the recessed slot. Cut and remove an area of film of pressure-sensitive polyester decals the approximate size of a protruding-head rivet or fastener.
Allow the adhesive to cure for 1/2 hour before sealing the edges.
(5) Puncture the decal film with a sharp pointed instrument at each rivet, of decals applied over pressurized areas.

CAUTION:
DO NOT USE A METAL SCRAPER TO REMOVE THE UNWANTED MATERIAL. A METAL SCRAPER CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SURFACE OF THE COMPONENT.
A. Application to Even or Irregular Surface NOTE: To prevent scribe marks on the aircraft skin, use SCISSORS or a CUTTER - THIN BLADE with a plate between the film and the aircraft skin (0.6 mm (0.0236 in.) thick minimum with metal and 2 mm (0.0787 in.) thick minimum with hard plastic). You can also use a CUTTER - THIN BLADE or CUTTER - THIN BLADE.
(1) Decals applied over a joint between two surfaces which move with respect to each other. (a) With gaps of 2.53 mm (0.0996 in.) and greater, cut the decal at the center of the gap and wrap the decal around both edges. See Method A.
(b) With gaps of less than 2.53 mm (0.0996 in.), cut the decal flush with the front or upper edge of the joint and wrap the decal around the rear or lower edge. See Method B.
(2) Decals applied across lap joints.
(a) The decal, when it is applied, is wrapped smoothly and continuously around the edge of the lap joint. See Method C (preferred method).
(3) Decals applied to exterior emergency exit handles. See Method E.
(a) Before removing the backing paper, place the decal on the handle and slit the decal overlap around each rounded corner.
(b) Remove the backing paper and apply the decal, pressing the overlap around the edges of the handle.
(4) Cut decals, except pressure sensitive Polyester, around the heads of fasteners on removable panels and punch the decal into the recessed slot. Cut and remove an area of film of pressure-sensitive polyester decals the approximate size of a protruding-head rivet or fastener.
Allow the adhesive to cure for 1/2 hour before sealing the edges.
(5) Puncture the decal film with a sharp pointed instrument at each rivet, of decals applied over pressurized areas.
