Prior to installation, be sure to use the following tools:
Application tool (Plastic squeegee or firm credit card).
Exacto knife or sharp razor blade.
Spray bottle filled with application fluid consisting of a water and soap solution. Fill a spray bottle with 16 ounces water, add a few drops of liquid hand or dish soap (not dishwasher liquid), then add one teaspoon of rubbing alcohol.
We also recommend using 1 or 1 1/2 inch masking tape for properly placing and installing your graphics.
To start, position the graphic onto the vehicle to determine exactly where you want the graphic installed.
Apply a strip of tape to the top and bottom edge of the application tape and lightly tape small border piece to each side of the graphic panel to the vehicle. The border tape is used as a positioning tape, this will butt to the application tape, not on it, this will help you guide the graphic during installation.
Remove the top or bottom tape from the graphic (whatever is easier for your application) and use the remaining piece as a hinge (Step 1 photo). Then peel the liner paper away from the graphic.
Wet the vehicle surface with the water/soap solution.
Lay the graphic onto the wet application surface and firmly squeegee the graphic starting in the middle and working your way out using short, overlapping strokes.
Thoroughly wet the surface of the application tape with the water/soap solution and wait a minute or two. The liquid will help break down the application tape adhesive.
Remove the tape hinge from the graphic.
With the adhesive weakened it will now be easier to remove the application tape. Start by pulling the tape from a corner, low and at an angle from the design.
Gently dab any remaining solution and carefully examine the graphic to make sure no bubbles remain under the surface of the graphic.
If any small bubbles appear during installation, they can be easily removed by pricking the base of the bubble with a pin or knife blade then squeezing any trapped solution out with the tip of your finger. Now your project is complete.
