Preparation
If you are applying to a substrate that you have no experience of it makes sense to test both the vinyl and the marking method in an inconspicuous area first.
It is important for the substrate to be totally free from dust, grease and other contaminants. Ideally you would [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/airjordan.php]nike air jordan pas cher[/url] wipe off any [url=http://www.sandvikfw.net/shopuk.php]hollister outlet sale[/url] dust and debris using a damp cloth and then de-grease the surface using a suitable degreasing fluid.
Short-term uses need less attention in the degreasing aspect as any contamination would [url=http://www.vivid-host.com/barbour.htm]www.vivid-host.com/barbour.htm[/url] need time to cause damage. Matt vinyl are often used in an exhibition environment [url=http://www.sandvikfw.net/shopuk.php]hollister sale[/url] to minimise glare from [url=http://www.mansmanifesto.com]www.mansmanifesto.com[/url] lighting and are much more forgiving than glossy vinyls in regards to air bubbles [url=http://www.re-tek.co.uk/abercrombie.html]abercrombie uk[/url] and dust contamination.
If the surface of the substrate is contaminated with grease, silicon cleaner, wax polish etc. [url=http://www.vivid-host.com/barbour.htm]barbour uk[/url] it may cause [url=http://www.eastscotinvest.co.uk/mulberry.html]mulberry sale[/url] problems with bubbling or delamination at a later date. Do not attempt to apply vinyl in temperatures lower than the minimum recommended.
Application
Temperature is very important when working with vinyl - too low and the material will become brittle and can tear or become less adhesive (especially when wet applied). Too hot and the material [url=http://www.rivaluta.it/css/moncler.html]moncler outlet[/url] will adhere too aggressively trapping air bubbles and will deform too easily to allow manipulation.
Make sure, before you start, that you are happy where everything will go within the design, ideally with reference to a drawing and having tapes everything roughly in place before actually applying the first piece; this is of particular importance when working with large complex decals or designs produced in sections.
You may find that decals that have been produced in more than one piece have a few millimetres of overlap.
Using small pieces of [url=http://www.achbanker.com/home.php]hollister france[/url] masking tape, position the decal ensuring the correct alignment and mark reference lines over the top and side edges of the transfer tape and onto the surface of the substrate with a suitable pencil or marker. Alternitively, if you are working with a substrate that you do not wish to mark in any way (i.e. vehicle paintwork) put some masking tape or some spare application tape onto the substrate and use that to carry the marks.
Using a strip of masking tape, apply it so that half the width is on the transfer paper and half is on the substrate; this will act as a hinge along the top edge of the [url=http://www.mylnefieldanalysis.co.uk/barbour.html]barbour factory shop[/url] decal.
Lift the decal [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/woolrich.php]woolrich bologna[/url] on its hinge and pull back a small section of the top edge of the backing paper. Holding the decal at the bottom pull it taught and lower it gently towards the surface without letting the adhesive actually touch the surface. Take a squeegee and firmly but gently press the decal down onto the surface beginning in the centre and stroking out towards the edges. Squeegee firmly all the way along the edges of the decal, ensuring that all air is expelled from behind the decal thereby achieving a good bond. Work your way down the decal gradually, pulling away small areas of the backing at a time
