Rubba Dub Dub
after 5 minutes the water will have loosened up the paper a bit but the ink has already been transferred to the tape. while still wet, slowly and gently rub the paper off the tape until all that it left is the tape.
make sure you get off ALL of the paper so the tape will be able to stick
let the tape image dry on a paper towel and discard the water and the pulppy leftover paper.

Stick On
after the tape has dryed it shuld still have a bit of adhesive on it and will be able to stick on most clean flat surfaces. make sure its a little damp for best results in stickyness.
if it doesnt stick right away put a little water on the back. it should revive the adhesive and should dry once you stick it on
make sure to press hard on dont forget to smooth our any bubbles. the edges or the most important for a good stick
I put mine on my ipod mini because it fits perfectly. it also works on motorola razrs.
