1. CLEAN AND DE-GREASE SURFACE.
BASIC GLASS CLEANER FROM THE SUPER MARKET WORKS WELL.
|
|
2. CAREFULLY POSITION YOUR GRAPHIC
HOLDING IT IN PLACE WITH MASKING TAPE. |
|
 |
3. LIFT THE TRANSFER TAPE WITH THE
GRAPHIC (ASSIST WITH A KNIFE IF THE VINYL DOESN'T LIFT EASILY)
FROM THE BACKING SHEET. |
| 4. ON LARGE GRAPHICS PEEL
BACK THE FIRST HALF AND TRIM OFF THE BACKING PAPER. |
 |
|
|
5.
THE GRAPHIC IS EXTREMELY STICKY, ESPECIALLY IF BEING APPLIED TO A
GLOSS SURFACE SO IF YOU ARE NOT SURE THAT YOU CAN POSITION
ACCURATELY THE FIRST TIME THEN SPRAY THE SURFACE LIGHTLY
WITH WATER WITH EITHER A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF WASHING UP LIQUID OR BETTER
STILL OUR CONCENTRATED APPLICATION FLUID. JUST A FINE MIST
IS SUFFICIENT. (A NORMAL HOUSEHOLD SPRAY BOTTLE IS FINE). PROVIDING
YOU DO NOT APPLY PRESSURE TO THE GRAPHIC, THIS WILL ALLOW
REPOSITIONING. |
|
6.
WHEN IN POSITION APPLY PRESSURE TO THE GRAPHIC USING A PLASTIC APPLICATOR,
WORKING FROM THE CENTRE, UP AND DOWN, SQUEEZING OUT ANY AIR
OR WATER. |
|
 |
7.
PEEL BACK THE OTHER HALF OF YOUR GRAPHIC AND REPEAT THE SAME PROCESS AS
ABOVE.
|
|
8. SPRAY THE WHOLE GRAPHIC WITH WATER AND
ALLOW A FEW MINUTES FOR THE
WATER TO SOAK INTO THE TAPE. CAREFULLY REMOVE THE TAPE FROM
RIGHT TO LEFT, KEEPING IT FLAT TO THE
SURFACE AND AT A SLIGHT ANGLE,
LEAVING THE GRAPHIC BEHIND.
|
 |
 |
9. LARGE BUBBLES (IF ANY) CAN BE REMOVED
BY PRICKING THE OUTER EDGE OF THE BUBBLE WITH A SHARP KNIFE
(SCALPEL) AND SQUEEZING OUT THE AIR OR WATER TOWARDS
THE PRICK WITH YOUR FINGER. ALSO TRIM DOWN ANY DOOR OR BODY
PANEL JOINTS AND PRESS THE VINYL INTO THE GAP (WARMING WITH A HAIR DRYER
CAN HELP). AS THE VINYL MATURES IT SHRINKS SLIGHTLY AND ALSO
BREATHES SO SMALL BUBBLES WILL DISAPPEAR BY THEMSELVES
AFTER A WHILE.
|
|
10. IF YOU HAVE USED WATER, YOU CAN CAREFULLY DRY
GRAPHIC WITH A SOFT ABSORBENT
CLOTH OR KITCHEN TOWEL BEING CAREFUL
NOT TO RUB ACROSS THE SURFACE.
CONGRATULATIONS! YOUR
GRAPHIC IS COMPLETE BUT BARE IN MIND THAT THE VINYL TAKES
A UP TO A WEEK TO FULLY CURE SO HANDLE WITH CARE
UNTIL THEN.
AFTER
THIS CURING PERIOD YOUR GRAPHIC WILL GIVE YOU YEARS OF SERVICE AND IS MORE
THAN UP TO POWER WASHING AND CAR WASHES.
