The need list:

1. Damaged traffic cones

2. Reflective bandages

3. Utility knife

4. Cleaning sponge

NOTE: Please be sure when you are not using utility knife, it is closed safely without shape. Keep away from children in case.

On this step, remove reflective bandages with utility knife and keep it in your mind or use pencil to mark where the bandage begins to end. Because, we need to know where was the original lines.

Reflective roll should be with sticky layer on its one side, the other side should be well reflectice when lights are coming to this side. The price can be change according to reflective roll's reflective parameter. High reflective is expensive. So, find economical balance with your need.

With water and cleaning solutions, use cleaning sponge's green side to fight stubborn stains. You can use Cif cream, Domestos e.t.c. to clean.

Put the pieces onto the cleaned surfaces of the traffic cones. While I was doing this, I needed to force the surface inside to attach the sticker correctly on to the straight side. Even though the surface is cone shaped, when I forced the material inside and under, thanks to the surface's flexible material (not all, just some of them are soft), it performed as if the area was flat. I put the sticker on smoothly with ease:

You can easily see when you are near the cones, I had unwanted and unneccessary corners when we put the stickers on. I used a utility knife to modify all corners in order to look good.

I know that these methods are not original. According to the traffic safety, I must clean and repair these old traffic cones.

Check the pictures, now, you have repaired traffic cones to take a floor in the world's highways and roads.
