Step 1: Prepare the Surface Start by thoroughly cleaning the glass area where you'll apply the decal. Use the cleaning wipes included in your kit, then dry the surface with a clean microfiber cloth. A spotless surface ensures better adhesion and a smoother finish.
Step 2: Remove Backing with Care Gently peel off the backing paper. Fold it back slowly, taking extra care not to disturb any intricate parts of the decal. This step requires patience, especially for designs with fine details.
Step 3: Align Your Decal Carefully position one edge of the decal on the intended spot on the glass. Take your time to ensure it's perfectly aligned. Precision at this stage is key to achieving a professional look.
Step 4: Smooth It Out Using a squeegee or a similar tool, gently press the decal onto the glass, starting from the applied edge. Move slowly and steadily to avoid air bubbles and to ensure the decal adheres uniformly.
Step 5: Peel Off the Transfer Tape Carefully remove the transfer tape by folding it back on itself. Proceed slowly to avoid lifting any small details of the decal. This reveals the beautifully applied vinyl on the glass.
Step 6: Final Touches With a microfiber cloth, lightly dab the decal to secure it firmly onto the glass. This step helps in removing any remaining air bubbles and ensures the decal is perfectly adhered.
Step 7: Let It Set Allow the decal to set for a few hours before cleaning or touching the area around it. This waiting period ensures the adhesive bonds well with the glass surface.
Congratulations! You've successfully applied your custom vinyl decal to a glass surface. Remember, patience and precision are key to achieving a professional, bubble-free finish. Happy decal applying!
