Applying vinyl

Recommended Posts

I am fairly new to applying vinyl. And I am having trouble applying it to surfaces. I was courius if someone could explain the proper way to apply it. I'm working with small stickers and large. Up to 18 ft wide and a few feet tall. I am applying it on a large dumpster. 

Side question, does the uneven wavy surface of the dumpster affect the alignment of the sticker and how straight it is. I can spend a hour trying to make it perfectly straight, and when I apply it, after taping it and quadruple checking it is still uneven.

Side Side question, how to apply with no bubbles or creases in the final product?

wet application and patience will be your best friend. you can probably search youtube, and there's probably a bunch of videos about it.

 Too many videos on youtube to count, for just about any size.   Use a quality product like Rapid Tac.

Best bet --- RapidTac2, clean surface with it first, then spray, apply, wait, and then wet the app tape and peel.

Use paper tape, not clear.

Apply in sections.
