Strange bubbles???? Days after application

Recommended Posts

Hello all, I have been putting decals on wet using "RAPIDTAC" and have had several occasions where bubbles under the vinyl are appearing days after the graphic has been applied.  I first clean the surface with the "rapidtac" and then use it on both my vinyl and the surface.  When I finish the job no bubbles and everything looks great, then I'll do an inspection days later and see small bubbles have formed under my graphic.  Any suggestions?  I thought maybe I did not clean the surface well enough..?? dunno.... :thumbsup: Has anyone seen this before?  What am I doing wrong? 

Thanks for the help!

If there is a TINY bit of moisture under the vinyl,after awhile it evaporates and the air it creates has nowhere to go. It should eventually make it's way through the vinyl and the bubbles go away.Vinyl is permeable.
