Quick Answer
The Gnomosexual sticker is a playful queer-themed design that celebrates identity with humor, and placing it on a water bottle or laptop works best when you follow a few simple steps to keep it looking great.
What Makes the Gnomosexual Sticker Unique
The Bi Gnomosexual sticker from the Gnomosexual series features a gnome holding both hot and cold coffee, a lighthearted nod to the idea that choices are hard. It's printed on glossy waterproof vinyl sticker paper and laminated for extra protection, making it suitable for everyday items. However, because the vinyl used is not UV-proof, the sticker will fade slightly with prolonged sun exposure. This trade-off means you should avoid placing it on surfaces that get direct sunlight for hours each day if you want the colors to stay vibrant longer.
How to Place Your Gnomosexual Sticker
- Choose the Right Surface: Pick a clean, smooth, dry surface like a laptop, water bottle, notebook, or bumper. Avoid textured or porous surfaces where the adhesive won't hold well. Smooth surfaces give the best adhesion and longest life.
- Clean the Area Thoroughly: Wipe the surface with rubbing alcohol or a mild soap solution to remove oils, dust, and residue. Let it dry completely before applying the sticker. Even a small amount of oil can cause the sticker to peel off over time.
- Position and Apply Slowly: Peel the backing from one corner and place the sticker on the surface, smoothing it outward with a credit card or your finger to push out air bubbles. Work slowly to avoid wrinkles. If you trap air bubbles, lift the sticker gently and reapply from that spot.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight for Long Periods: Because the sticker is not UV-proof, prolonged sun exposure will cause fading. Place it on items that are mostly indoors or shaded. For outdoor use, rotate the item or keep it covered when not in use.
- Let the Adhesive Cure: Wait at least 24 hours before washing the item or exposing it to moisture. This allows the adhesive to bond fully with the surface. Rushing this step is the most common reason stickers peel early.
