I clean the substrate very well. Then I get all my layout marks,as I spray the area well and as I peel the backer I spray the vinyl lightly then you can position reposition the decal after your satisfied with the position squeegee well from the center to the outside

use plenty of pressure and wipe the excess fluid away. After you finish wet the app tape and let set a while it makes it much easier to peel your tape. I think there are a couple videos on here. Hope this helps.

Small bubbles will disapate after a while and the more wet you do the easier it becomes. If you have larger bubbles punch with small blade or needed and squeegee out fluid or air.
