    How would you cure vinyl which is peeling from a window when you have just put the vinyl on???

    imagine a triangle being stuck on a window and the point at the top is not stuck on properly. how can i cure this??????

    is there special solution i can get??

    although its the tip only i have the problem with and the adhesion on the rest of the triangle is fine i fear sooner or later it may become bad to worst and peel more so.

    please help!!! and thanx in advane!!! 🙂

    hi dont make it such a sharp point, if your steady with the blade slice a bit of each side of the triangle, that should help 😀

    I think you’ll find that is where the problem lies, apply dry and try it.

    Cheers

    Try gently heating it – e.g with a hairdryer – this may help

    Did you thoroughly clean the glass. If there was just the slightest bit of grease left you will have a problem. Sharp points on glass will be a problem the first time someone tries to clean the window with a fluffy duster.
    You will also find that the adhesive area is so small at the tip of the point just the slightest bit of dust under it will stop it from sticking. Definitely apply dry if you can.

    I have also heard from a friend that using clear nail varnish seals and secures delicate areas. Would anyone know anything about this?? is there a special solution available specifically for delicate areas??

    cheers in advance!! 🙂
