the ART of WET Application
i was browsing the web today and came across this demo on wet vinyl application. it was on a sign makers website for his customers to read and learn from. i thought it pretty good… he first discribed how to apply dry then posted this one below that for his customers..
found it quite funny… makes you think 😉 😆VINYL DECAL INSTALLATION
Wet Application Method
To show how easy this method is I have photographed my 4 year old daughter applying a non transfer taped vinyl graphic using the wet application method. To wet the surface and graphic you will need to use either a pre made application fluid or mix in a spray bottle 20 ounces of water, 1/4 teaspoon of unscented clear liquid JOY and 1/2 teaspoon of Isopropyl Alcohol.
Step One – After peeling away the wax backing, spray both the back of the vinyl decal and the application surface with the application fluid.
Step Two – Apply the decal to the surface and slide it around until it is level.
Step Three – Then squeegee out any air bubbles with the a squeegee.
This same method applies to larger vinyl graphics and striping kits. If the decal is transfer taped you would wait until the decal was dry and then gently peel off the transfer tape.
