Wildgoose 4,200 Posted September 9, 2016 You just have to pop them. With practice you CAN install with no or less bubbles. They come from poor squeegee techniques. Do some research on how to squeegee vinyl (not necessarily on how to apply vinyl as a lot of those vids are hack jobs) Center out up and down as well as from center out each direction going up and then down from the center as you move your way across from the center toward one side or the other. You want to try and move your squeegee straight up and down and square to the world if possible. Some things can be done from one end if they are the size of your squeegee like a string of text. It's just a learning game that takes some hands on practice to figure it out. Some wet apply for a while to help with bubbles but there are tricks to that as well. In a year you'll look back and be amazed at how much you have improved. Wrap vinyl has air release so those guys can get away with doing it differently. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
