Vinyl Striping

Wet Installation Instructions for Vinyl Striping on Water Resistant Surfaces

To start with, we need to clean the application surface with denatured alcohol, this is the best for removing any oil residue and wax leaving a completely clean surface to apply vinyl to.

WHAT YOU NEED: Paper towels, razor knife to cut and trim, scissors, squeegee (we supply with all orders), denatured alcohol, squirt bottle, detergent soap. And of course vinyl striping supplied by www.vinylstriping.com.

If applying to drywall or similar surfaces apply dry.

Step-1 : Saturate surface with a soapy water solution 99.8% water a couple of drops of detergent soap, shake it up. (To add a bit of slipperiness to the water).

Step-2 : Pull a foot or two of the vinyl striping away from liner. Apply vinyl gently (get as straight and or as level as you can here).

Step-3 : Now saturate the front of the vinyl to help with squeegeeing down onto surface (it will prevent scratching and help with application).
