How do you replace graphics on a backboard?

What are the steps to replace a backboard graphic?
Follow these steps to replace the graphics on your backboard:
- Clean the backboard
- A lot of grease and dust build up could impair the graphic from sticking to the board
- Rubbing alcohol will clean & dry best
- Gently roll the new graphic up from the bottom
- Thin graphics can crease as easily as paper, so use care when handling
- Align the top of the graphic to flush with the top edge of the board & then unroll
- If the graphic is crooked — roll the graphic back up and re-align the top
- Thin graphics can tear easily if pulled
Tip: cleat-mounted boards
If your backboard hangs from cleats, remove it from the wall before applying the new graphic — this makes alignment easier and reduces the risk of tearing. See Video B above for a step-by-step demonstration.
