  • Applying 3.3m length of Etch Vinyl by yourself best method?

    Posted by Carlos. on 27 October 2025 at 13:06

    Hey got a job next week with some large windows I need to apply a 3.3 m length by 610mm will use a 1.9m folding table then lifted onto the glass, I have done 2m length before wetting on the table then at full arms length transferred but 3,3m am I best to wet half and leave the rest rolled up and peel and wet on the glass or try and fold on the table? obviously dont want the vinyl to stick together or attract dust or risk a crease? any advice gratfully recieved, using Avery etch window vinyl? 🙂

    its hard to explain this type of thing without showing. 😀
    clean everything down and get it ready for applying the material. mark out the window. spray a light mist of water around the window frame and below it to help stop attracting any dust and static. be careful not to spray where you will put masking tape or it wont stick. heavily mask tape the material into place and then from one side as you remove the paper back, spray with water until you get to the other side. you should be able to lift and lay it until you want to start squeeging it. best of luck
