Vinyl Application
Instructions (For all vinyl lettering projects)
Your quote is made up of three layers. The top layer is the
transparent sticking tape, the actual letters are the middle
layer, and the bottom layer is the stiff backing paper. All
surfaces must be flat, clean and dry before applying.
Step 1: Clean the surface with
glass cleaner and a dry cloth. Dirt and dust particles will
cause vinyl lettering to bubble.
Step 2: Draw horizontal
guidelines in the area you wish to apply your lettering. Take
your sheet of words and flatten the surface out so there is no
rolling up.
Step 3: On a flat surface
gently but firmly rub over the words to make sure all letters
have adhered to the sticking tape. Rub over the top of the
sticking tape again, just to make sure the letters are sticking
to it.
Step 4: With the quote facing
up so that you can see it, begin to slowly peel up the sticking
paper, which will grip the letters, and be all in one piece.
The letters should stick to the sticking tape. If any of the
letters aren't sticking, press them down again with the tape,
and rub over them with the edge of a credit card or application
squeegee.
Step 5: Place the taped letters
on the prepared surface, using your guidelines to position them
correctly. Firmly "squeegee" the lettering to force the bubbles
out with your application squeegee or edge of credit card.
Start in the center and work your way out. Be sure you have gone
over all areas.
Step 6: Gently peel off the
transfer tape, leaving the letters in place.
Step 7: You are finished!
