Die cut a Mylar for a customers RFM

 

Tried fitting it wet and then dry still not a great job.

 

Fitted Application tape to it and tried again still not the best.

 

So I used a Rubber Tile grout trowel as i applied it and PERFECT.

 

pics?

Reasoning for applying wet is that it allows you to move the vinyl round and get perfect positioning. Once this is achieved then all the water + lubricant is squeedgied out. It allows for perfect positioning and negates any possibility of air bubbles, an old credit card is a perfect squeedgy if you dont want to buy a vinyl applicator.

 

Both dry and wet work well, but wet allows a lot more freedom when applying - your registry is not so crucial. It also allows you to remove all backing tape, spray and just place down - no risk of vinyl folding and sticking to itself etc.

 

Wet application is really an insurance policy. If done right - you should get the same results either way
