Marvin's
Guide to
Vinyl
Decal Installation
The following
is a simple step-by-step install for vinyl decals shown using Marvin's custom
cut decals that I had David at Decals
To Go computer cut on his vinyl cutter. Make sure that you are installing
in a mild temperature - too cold or too hot can produce undesirable results
- I installed in the garage out of the direct son and heat.
Clean
thoroughly with glass cleaner.
Line
up the decal with the backing still on. You can tape the top corners to the
window so you can step back and see if it looks even. In some cases you can
use a tape measurer..on the NB it's hard to find any right angles to measure
to though.
I
am lining up the decal with the bottom "black surround" of the window
glass. So I am applying a straight piece of masking tape as a guide for the
bottom of the letters.
Pulling
the sides taught I'm lining up the bottom of the letters with the top of the
tape, careful not to apply decal to the tape itself.
Backing
removed.
Going
over the decal a few more times to make sure there are no bubbles. Make sure
you make the same face I am to achieve the desired result.

Removing
the backing material at a diagonal to the decal, slowly - watching to make
sure that the decal is not coming off with the backing.
Hold
the top away from the window so nothing sticks until the squeegee gets there
to apply the decal uniformly to the window. I'm working it from the bottom
to the top.
Carefully
removing the backing...don't touch the vinyl and be careful not to let it
touch anything until you are ready to permanently apply to window.
Look
I'm still doing it...watching the camera too...ooooo versatile!
