How do I apply Self-Adhesive Vinyl?

Prepare your tools

Here are useful tools to help you apply your custom Vinyl Stickers

• A cloth for cleaning the surface, your vinyl will stay up for a long time, when stuck to a smooth, clean and dust-free surface
• Spray bottle with a mixture of water and a very small amount of washing up liquid
• A plastic squeegee or something similar for applying the sticker
• A knife or scalpel if you need to take up the corners for re-application

Applying your Sticker

For smaller stickers like A2 and smaller, this can be applied easily by one person. With anything larger, we’d recommend a bit of teamwork.

1. Peel a small part of the backing paper and fold it back on itself. Make sure it is small or it’ll end up sticking to itself.
2. Line up and apply the area with the exposed adhesive to the surface and rub down gently with a squeegee or tool you have. Slow and steady application is key because if you rub down too fast you will almost certainly get bubbles or creases as a result, some of which may be tough to work out afterwards.
3. Once you have done this, now to pull away the backing paper from behind in a downwards motion while rubbing down the vinyl as you go. By applying the vinyl gently at first, it means that if you do get bubbles, you should be able to pull away the vinyl where necessary and re-apply without damaging it. Remember, the vinyl will stretch if you pull it too firmly.
4. For larger vinyl stickers, spraying the surface lightly with water and a teeny amount of washing up liquid really helps as it will stop the vinyl from adhering too strongly at first. This means you can make adjustments and reposition later.
5. Once you’re happy, use the squeegee to rub the vinyl and expel any water away from in between the vinyl and the surface.
