    on site, main reason being something could go wrong, if it does you lose less time replacing that one bit..

    I nearly always put the graphics together before application. it saves a lot of time on site and also saves on materials (one lot of app tape) and less problems with allignment.

    I only pre-assemble when absolutely neccessary.
    To me, it seems that I get even MORE air bubbles
    if I pre-assemble! Take your time and do it the right way.
    Simon has a very valid point, too.
    Love….Jill
