Vinyl Application
Equipment needed:
Strong Cleaner/Degreaser, Cloth, Masking Tape, Tape Measure, Plastic Squeegee, Craft Knife, Needle
1
Before any application, make sure all surfaces are clean. Then postion the graphic onto surface placing masking tape tabs either side.
2
With the help of masking tape, make a horizontal hinge on the top, preferably on a flat surface.
3
Remove the liner gradually by tensioning it towards the lower end.
4
Start sticking the vinyl with a squeegee, making a 45 angle and applying from the centre to the edges.
5
Press down hard over the entire surface to avoid leaving bubbles underneath the vinyl, not forgeting the edges.
6
Finally peel back the left application tape, keeping the angle as small as possible from the surface to avoid lifting the vinyl.
Tips
- If a bubble should unfortunately remain, do not cut them but pierce them with a needle.
- Larger graphics can be cut into sections (avoiding cutting into the vinyl) once the hinge is in place, making it easier to apply.
