You need to stick it as flat as possible. The sticker will have adhesive on its backside, you just need to peel the paper which will expose the adhesive on its back and then put it on the ground where you want to stick it. Then tap it on the ground evenly so that it gets glued to the ground in the right manner. Try to fix it as smoothly as possible.
  2. Inlaid floor Signs: These are to be embedded in the ground and not just stick to it. Though these might take a little more effort of yours this is a more long-lasting sign. In this case, as well you need to completely clear the ground where you want to embed the signs and not just clear it from dirt but you have to prepare the ground as well. Before fixing the epoxy, you need to borderline the area within which the signs will be embedded. You can use temporary stickers for bordering the area so that it can be removed easily once the epoxy is fixed. Once you completed the border, put the sign on the floor and put the epoxy on it. Cover the whole sign with the epoxy with paint or any other big brush. You can remove the air bubbles if any with the blowtorch as well. Protect the area from anyone tamping inside while the epoxy settles and dries out. It takes around 24 hours for the epoxy to dry completely and then you can peel the borderline off.
