How to apply it, how to remove it, how to measure for it, and why it does what it does. Everything Mr. Stickers knows, minus the stories about 1962.

• Wet application: the easy way to put up a big decal

  Sun fades everything eventually. Here’s what speeds it up, what slows it down, and why laminate is your sticker’s sunscreen.
• What will a sticker stick to? A surface-by-surface guide
  Glass, metal and painted surfaces are easy. Some plastics, fresh paint and textured finishes are not. Here’s why, and what to do about it.

  Heat, a slow low peel, and the right solvent for the surface. How to get stickers off cars, glass, laptops and walls without wrecking them.
