This document contains the recommended procedures for applying a Hawkeye Industries Gauge Board Decal.

Tools Parts Required

Decals supplied by Hawkeye have three parts: A backing material, the

decal itself and premask. These terms will be used throughout. Each

decal segment will be between 24” and 60” long.

If using gauge boards, ensure they are on a flat surface and in the order

as they will be placed on the tank. Decals segment lengths are not likely

match up to gauge board section lengths, so having all the gauge boards

aligned streamlines the decal application process.

Clean the mounting surface (i.e. gauge board or tank side) with glass

cleaner. Dry the surface completely.
