I have always just made sure the surface area was clean with no oily residues. I haven't had any problems. Sometimes the decal itself will have weak adhesive. In that case, you might want to try adding some spray adhesive.

Wash the area with Dawn dish soap and dry it thoroughly. Oh and peel off the back of the sticker.

OK OK I fell into that one.
I just did not know if anyone had had problems with them coming off. |

Here comes a legitimate answer.....no jokes from me this time. I have had multiple hobies and did not have any issues with stickers coming off. The slick surface is perfect for stickers but if you plan to put some on the top rails or anything there might be an issue as the plastic is a little more bumpy and not quite as smooth. Make sure you pick a smooth plastic area so that no air can get between the adhesive and the plastic. Also make sure your stickers are newer and haven't been sitting around for a long time because the adhesive might have gone to crap. The clean surface is a must but that has already been mentioned. Hope this response helps unlike my previous response!

Careful guys...
 You'll need to hire a professional like myself, and you'll need to know the current and local and State laws concerning the proper handeling,  Disposal of the backing and glues, and how to deal with todays VOC free adheasives and proper resperator reqirements..( so you dont breath in the dangerous fumes, and pollute the enviroment), with over 40 + years of adheasion skills and various application techniques.. I know stickers...Make sure you decals are Ocean friendly...and meet all of California enviromental requirements.......
