I needed letters for a construction sign I was making for my nephew's room. The 4" size was just what I needed. Like others have said, you can't really peel these off and apply them free-hand without them possibly wrinkling or being crooked. The way to avoid this is to make your own "transfer sheet" from some clear packing tape. Peel off a piece of tape about 6-7" long and fold the edges back on themselves so you have some "handles" to grasp that aren't sticky. The next step is important - get some of the tackiness off the tape by sticking and then peeling it off your shirt or pant leg. Do this several times - you don't want the tape to be so sticky that the letters won't peel off. Next, cut out the letters you need from the sheets. One at a time, lay the clear tape over the top of each letter. Peel off the backing/extra vinyl around each letter, and you then are left with just the letter, sticky side ready to apply to your surface. Using the "handles" on the tape that you made, use them to hold the letter taught as you carefully place the whole thing on the desired surface. Rub the tape, but only in the area where the letter is - this helps the letter stick. You can then gently peel back the tape, making sure the letter doesn't come up with it. Repeat as necessary!

Worked great for my yard sign! Some of the letters were really flimsy and hard to get on straight. I think it would be easier if each letter was in the shape of a square, this way it would be easier to line them up.

The letters look great and are thick enough that they seem like they will hold up good. The adhesion is great. The only problem I had was trying to get them on straight, especially the S as the material is very flimsy/flexible and makes it a little difficult to handle.

I got what I ordered

I did not like that in white these numbers are really hard to see and then peel off because you cannot see them well. I did manage to peel them off with my husband helping me. They did stick on 4 garbage cans for a 4 plex building and they are still sticking about 6 weeks later. I will see how this works out. Thank you.
