- Now place a long piece of masking tape between the first two pieces of tape on the upper part of your graphic, leaving half the tape on the transfer paper and the other half on your application surface. Once you are SURE this is the exact location, flip the graphic up along the line of masking tape and remove the release liner or wax paper back. (If your tape job was correct, then everything stays in place!) Once the wax paper / release liner is removed, the sticky vinyl is exposed. Use your soapy water mixture to wet your application surface. Carefully lay your graphic against the wetted surface and use the squeegee to remove any trapped water and air bubbles. ALWAYS SQUEEGEE FROM THE CENTER OUT TO THE EDGES!
- Use moderate to firm pressure with your squeegee to adhere the pressure sensitive vinyl properly. Complete your installation by spraying the transfer tape with your soapy water. Squeegee a little more to work the water into the transfer tape. (The water will loosen the tape from the vinyl allowing it to be removed without pulling the vinyl off of the application surface.) OR- allow 15-30 minutes to allow adhesive to bind to surface and let transfer tape to completely dry before removing transfer tape. Once transfer tape is removed, pop any air bubbles with a pin and press out any air or water. Small water bubbles should evaporate within a few days. Allow newly installed vinyl letters and logos to cure 48 hours before washing. Avoid brushes and pressure washing to protect against scratching the vinyl or lifting a corner of the letter / logo.
A soft cloth & mild detergent will adequately clean vinyl graphics. Use of abrasives or rubbing compounds will void any warranty.
