Question
How do I apply adhesive vinyl graphics?
Answer
Clean prep and a slow, steady application are what prevent bubbles and misalignment. For large pieces, a simple hinge technique keeps everything lined up.
- Clean the surface thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol and let it dry.
- Peel the backing and position the vinyl before pressing it down.
- Squeegee from the center outward with a squeegee or credit card to push out air.
- Use the hinge method for large graphics: tape one edge, peel half the backing, apply, then repeat on the other side.
