Lettering in the cold

How do you people apply wet method vinyl graphics or lettering on store fronts in the cold? Or does this mean business comes to an end in the cold season?

well,that all depends. If the store is heated inside, the glass might be warm enough to apply wet. Of course,you can always use a blow dryer to make it so. I've applied to the back window of my camper when it was 45 and no problems.

Did a large scion logo on a scion xb and it was about 55 out.

Just laid it down and got as much water out as i could then used a heat gun on low setting to get the job done.. Slow and steady on these

I've used rapidtac2 in the freezing cold, and it does work as the video shows!
