slr001 0 Posted June 3, 2015 So, I swear I saw a video (can't find it now). That shows using the application tape to cover the vinyl a little more than half way, then lay a second piece to cover the rest. Did I dream this? Or is this a viable solution? Does it make it harder to apply the final decal? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted June 3, 2015 You run the risk of getting bubbles where it overlaps when applying the decal but it can be done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted June 3, 2015 I have done it once in a while in a pinch but like jaybird says it's almost a given that you will have some bubbles at the overlap.They aren't usually very big but can be a problem. I find I have similar problems when I pre-layer graphics that overlap and I get small bubbles in the lower layer next to the layered upper due to the same thing.

Command 97 Posted June 3, 2015 I call this the "bandaid". It can be done without bubbles, but requires paper tape and very strict handling. You have to be careful not to have slack when you place the bandaid, and then be careful during application. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RickS 39 Posted June 4, 2015 I have done this before with no problems, I just put the tape right up next to each other but don't overlap, get it as close as you can, even a 1/16th of an inch gap is fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
