AmericanWarriorDecals 25 Posted April 12, 2016 Will these tiny minuscule air bubbles go away over time? Or are they there forever? I was as precise as I could be when transferring it over but this still happened. Is this ok or am I just a newbie freaking out over not a big deal? I had read over time they will go away but it was mixed 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GraphxNMore 282 Posted April 13, 2016 Might be specks of dust. If that's the case, you'll never get it out. But PD is right, a needle prick and you can get the air out. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn't feel like dust since there is no feeling that something is under it. Any tips for preventing dust as well? Seems to be my biggest fear now.

KYSIGN 233 Posted April 13, 2016 I don't see any app tape on your layered decal. Are you removing the app tape? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Primal Decals 621 Posted April 13, 2016 I don't see any app tape on your layered decal. Are you removing the app tape? thats whats missing , i didnt even notice there was no trans tape on it , unless its been put on paper or something other than the backing paper.. But it appears to be pulling it off while its on backing paper.. Bingo if thats it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AmericanWarriorDecals 25 Posted April 13, 2016 I did take the clear tape off in order to lay other tape down. But I'm going to go with although that was still already there. Putting application tape on after is not the best way. As for the pet hair, I'm still working on solving that. Don't have time to do both haha. But thank you all! I'll just let the transfer tape sit on there with it and not be OCD about the application tape being there instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted April 14, 2016 Standard procedure is you typically put the app tape on the top most part in your case the silver and lift it off the carrier and then apply it to the next layer down and leave it to then transfer the whole thing to the final position wherever it's going. You have to try and leave enough app tape out along the edges to cover the whole graphic or you can piece it around parts you couldn't get covered. If you get some bubbles you can pop them through the app tape. I rarely layer things at the shop and just tape each one off separate and put them on one at a time at the job. Less bubbles that way. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GraphxNMore 282 Posted April 14, 2016 What I do is wipe the layers with a dryer sheet then drag a lint free cloth over them. It gets the vast majority of any dust off. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Command 97 Posted April 14, 2016 I blow it off with a compressor when I'm worried about dust. Also if you are using a clear type app tape, it generates a ton of static, which summons dust and hair from across the room. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll just use the regular tape and just be careful aligning. Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
