• Irregular or rough surfaces will show through CopperDisinfector™, Smooth surfaces work best for a good appearance.
• Wrinkles do not effect the disinfecting power of CD.

Irregular or rough surfaces will show.

• Smooth surfaces is best for a good appearance.
• Try a less-visible area when you first apply CopperDisinfector™. Quality installation results from practice.
• Removing CopperDisinfector™ from a surface can damage the surface. If you need to remove a prior installation, use a heat gun to soften the adhesive for easy removal.
• If applying outdoors, make sure it is not raining or the temperature is above 38 degrees F for good adhesion.
• Do not reuse CopperDisinfector™. If a piece needs removal, replace it with a new piece.
• Wrinkling does not affect the effectiveness.But you probably want a surface with as few wrinkles as possible for cosmetic reasons.
• Do not use contaminated adhesive. If the adhesive has fingerprints or dirt on it, cut out that section before installation.
• WARNING: The edges of the CD may be rough or uneven when installed. The CD is metal and sharp, so wear gloves to protect your fingers. Also, consider wearing protective clothing.
• Use a razor blade or similar tool, and a ruler to remove any rough edges and achieve a straight line.
• Remove or cut away lifting edges caused by damage, dirt, or contaminated adhesive during installation or use.
• For best results, apply CD above 38 degrees F. Using a heat gun or portable space heater to warm CD and the surface,
•  If the temperature is too low CD has issues sticking or forming to the surface.
• The ideal storage temperature for CopperDisinfector™ is between 65 to 85 degrees F for the longest shelf-life and ease of insulation. The adhesive has a shelf-life of one year from purchase. Please note that extreme temperatures will reduce the shelf life and can damage the product.
• Must clean surface before applying any copperdisinfector products with alcohol and let dry or it won’t stick properly and shorten life.
• Cannot be applied to rough or fabric surfaces only smooth clean dry

1. Remove any loose, peeling paint and corrosion. Sand the surface to a smooth finish. Surface roughness shows through CopperDisinfector™
2. Use 70% Alcohol clean the surface. Must be free of oil, dirt, dust, or other debree. This step is essential to ensure that the adhesive bonds properly with the surface. Please note that if necessary, use a heat gun to remove any old adhesive material on the surface from a prior installation. Do not overheat, or the surface will damage.
3. Make sure the surface is completely dry before you apply CopperDisinfector™. This step is especially important if you are conducting installation in the open.
4. Clean with 70% Isopropyl Alcohol.

To install on a clean, flat surface:

1. Apply the pre-cut pieces of CopperDisinfector™, one piece at a time. Peel off the adhesive backing first from the selected piece before laying it on the surface.
2. If you have made a mistake in your installation, remove the film right away. Do not reuse the material. Replace with a new piece.
3. Apply pressure to the installed surface. Using CopperDisinfector™ approved squeegee, press down on the surface from edge to edge, to ensure good adhesive contact, remove any ‘bubbles.’  
   Note If the material does not stick to the surface, it means that either the surface is dirty or the adhesive became contaminated. Remove the installed film immediately, clean and dry the surface, and install a new piece of material carefully.
4. Use CD Surface Restorer to remove tarnish or discoloration. Wipe and rinse dry.
