Put up your FATHEAD™ in six easy steps. It’s not hard, but take the time to do it right. With a clean dry wall, you’re just 5 minutes away from bringing the action to your room.
STEP 1: GET A FRIEND – IT TAKES TWO PEOPLE
Because a FATHEAD™ is “REAL.BIG.” you’ll need four hands and a little patience to get it right.
STEP 2: PICK THE PERFECT SPOT
Pick a spot where everyone can see what a FATHEAD™ you have. Pick a smooth dry wall – most traditional walls in your house or office with standard painted dry wall work best. Your FATHEAD™ doesn’t like pebbly/textured walls, the hood of your car, bails of hay, fireplaces, or your garage door.
A FATHEAD™ is not afraid to be too big and too real for some walls! You will need approximately 80” tall x 50” wide for players, 54” tall x 52” wide for helmets, and 39” tall x 91” wide for cars.
STEP 3: CLEAN IT BEFORE YOU STICK IT
Use a warm damp cloth or sponge to clean the wall surface. DO NOT USE SOAP. Allow the surface to dry thoroughly – approximately 30 minutes.
STEP 4: PEEL AND STICK IT
Lay your complete FATHEAD™ (before you peel anything) on a flat surface.
PLAYERS & CARS—FATHEAD™ players & cars come in two pieces, so begin with the bottom half. With a person on either side, start at the mid-section of the image and peel down toward the bottom edge slowly, gently and evenly until the image is completely removed. Working together, place one end or corner of the image on the wall and slowly smooth it into place. If your FATHEAD™ came in two pieces, start by matching the image at the seam and smoothing it onto the wall from that end.
HELMETS—working together putting up your FATHEAD™ helmet, gently pull the helmet off the backing with specific caution around the facemask. Once removed from the backing and you are ready to place it on the wall, start with the helmet side and work towards the facemask.
Note: if some of the backing paper comes off when you peel your FATHEAD™, don’t sweat it. It is not a product defect. Simply remove the excess backing and you are good to go.
STEP 5: SMOOTH IT OUT
Once your FATHEAD™ has been gently stuck on the wall where you want it, use the ROLLER to smooth out any air bubbles. Take the roller and run it over your entire FATHEAD™ (the one on the wall) with specific emphasis to the parts highest on the wall to make sure your FATHEAD™ sticks for as long as you want it there.
STEP 6: KICK BACK & ENJOY
Step back, take it in, and know you ARE a FATHEAD™. Welcome to the team!
Note: make sure to keep the items that came with your FATHEAD™ including the Tube, Roller and the Backing it came with. You may need these items if you want to move your FATHEAD™ again.
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS SO YOU DON’T MESS UP YOUR FATHEAD™ WARRANTY!!!!
Use the roller to really rub down the edges hard, especially the highest points on the wall. Some walls are more difficult for the FATHEAD™ to adhere to. If the adhesive sticks to itself, do not panic, just slowly peel it back apart, and don’t worry: there will be plenty of adhesive left to place on the wall.
