How durable is the vinyl?

Can I remove the stickers later?

Troubleshooting
Sticker won't adhere properly
Ensure the frame surface was perfectly clean and dry before application. Reheat the sticker gently with a hairdryer and reapply pressure.
Air bubbles under the sticker
Use a pin to carefully prick the bubble, then smooth the air out towards the hole. For larger bubbles, try lifting and reapplying the sticker carefully, ensuring firm pressure.
Sticker feels loose after some use
Clean the area around the sticker and re-press firmly, especially around the edges. If it continues to be an issue, consider replacing the sticker.
Difficulty cutting the vinyl to shape
Use a sharp craft knife or precision scissors for clean cuts. For complex curves, consider using a template or carefully freehand cutting.
