How To Apply Vinyl Window Stickers

 

Step 1

 Materials : cleaner and a squeegee or credit card.
Surface Preparation:  It is necessary that the surface on which you will apply the vinyl lettering is clean and completely dry.  You may use any of the following which are appropriate for your surface:  a 2 to 1 mixture of isopropyl alcohol, a window cleaner (such as Windex), a household cleaner (such as 409) or a solvent.

Step 2

  
Lift lettering and pull away the backing paper a few inches at a time.  Make sure the lettering sticks to the transfer tape (clear portion) and not the backing (paper portion).

 

Step 3

  
Use a squeegee or other object with a smooth edge to apply the lettering. Do not allow the vinyl to touch the surface prematurely.  Use overlapping strokes to apply the lettering beginning at the top Left and working down and toward each edge.

Step 4

  
The final step is removing the transfer tape.  Remove transfer tape carefully pulling at a 180-angle.  If letters begin to pull up with the transfer tape, they have not been applied firmly enough.  Using your squeegee, go over the lettering again with firm overlapping strokes then once again attempt to remove the transfer tape.
