How to apply vinyl

You will need:

Paper or cloth towel to clean
• A cleaning agent like windex
• Masking tape
• Tape measure or ruler
• Leveler (optional)
• Scissors
• Squeegie
• Exacto knife or sharp pointed object to get out air bubbles (optional)

How to install:

For best adhesion, install the vinyl when it is between 50-90 degrees F and not wet. Start by cleaning your surface with water and a paper towel. Then tape the top corners of your vinyl to the surface with masking tape. Measure with a ruler, tape measure, and/or leveler until you have it where you want it. Tape your vinyl to the surface in the middle from about 2 inches above the vinyl to about 2 inches below to hold it in place. Pull back the left side and peel the backing off of the mask and vinyl to reveal the sticky back. Use your scissors to cut the paper backing off of the side you peeled. Using your squeegie, start from the middle of the vinyl and squeegie up, start from the middle and squeegie down. Continue doing this until you reach the end of the left side. Remove the middle piece of tape and peel off the backing on the right side. Use the squeegie technique above to complete the application. Once the vinyl is sticking to the surface, peel off the mask slowly. If the vinyl come up with the mask, squeegie it back down and try again. If there are any air bubbles, use the exacto blade to poke them and smooth it out.
Admire your great job!
