Applying Vinyl - how to

Recommended Posts

What is the best way to apply vinyl.............I am working with steel and applying the vinyl on top of that.  Do I use water and a little soap, remove the backing of the vinyl, place where I want it to be, then essentially squeege the water out from underneath so the vinyl sticks to the steel?

Sorry, very elementary but just want to do it right.

Thanks

I do the wet method on smooth surfaces.mainly to minimize bubbles. I've never done it on steele, so my best advice is..try a tiny bit and see. The wet method is more forgiving...that's the main thing.

Sounds good, thanks.  The steel I am applying it to is smooth, as I sand and primer then paint the surface.

I will try that next.  This whole time I was doing dry and just cutting the backing halfway through and doing the top, then lifting up the bottom and laying that down  ;D
