  reverse reading layered application advice

  Posted by Tim Jay on 27 July 2006 at 12:35

  I’ve got my first little job to do, it’s white lettering on a solid blue block to go inside a window. So should I put the white lettering on the window then lay the solid blue over it, or should I layer it on the table and put it up in one go?

  Apply in 2 pieces if you can, or it will be difficult to remove the halo of air around each letter.

  Hi Tim,

  I would fit the vinyl in two seperate layers on site.
  Make sure you put your pen marks on the outside of the glass, line up the white text, and apply. Line up the blue panel and apply over the top of the text.

  As Lorraine said you will get a little halo of air around the text where the panel isnt quite hitting the glass, try rubbing firmly (but not too hard 😀 ) over the panel with a felt squeegee if you have one.
