| With a little care, application of prespaced vinyl letters is really quite easy. When working outdoors, try to find an area out of bright sun light and avoid working in wind. Vinyl letters should endure well on any smooth non-porous surface. Glass, vehicles, smooth painted wood, plastic and painted metal are all excellent surfaces for vinyl letters.

STEP 1 - Clean the Surface Using a strong cleaner which will not harm the sign surface, wipe the entire area and beyond. Wipe the area again with a very mild detergent or just plain water to remove any residue. Wipe the surface dry with a lint-free cloth. STEP 2 - Align the Vinyl Lettering Place masking tape along the top edge of the sheet. With the backing paper and application tape still attached, position the vinyl lettering so that it is properly aligned and level. STEP 3 - Tape the Graphics in Place Using the squeegee, stick the masking tape to the sign surface to hold it in place. Use care to make sure the sheet with letters is not wrinkled. STEP 4 - Cut Long Sheets to Size (optional) Lettering which is too long to handle easily can be cut vertically with scissors between letters or words. Cut through the Application Tape and Backing Paper, leaving each piece of the sheet attached to the surface with the masking tape. STEP 5 - Remove Backing Paper Flip the sheet up using care not to peel the masking tape away. Remove the wax coated backing paper by slowly peeling it away. Be sure the the vinyl letters remain on the application tape. STEP 6 - Apply Vinyl Letters Starting at the top edge, firmly slide the squeegee side to side to seal the letters to the surface. Slowly work your way to the bottom of the sign. Do not let the letters touch the sign surface until the squeegee passes over the area. STEP 7 - Remove Application Tape Slowly peel away application tape, making sure that all letters are sticking properly. Use your squeegee if any areas of the letters are not sticking well. Air bubles can be removed by cutting a small slice in the letter and working air out with the squeegee. |
