  • On wrinkles you can try gently lifting up the part of the vinyl with some pointy tweezers (finger oils can ruin the stickiness of the glue) until the vinyl releases and then smooth the non-sticky side down gently with your finger until it is straight & smooth again. Some cheap glues don't forgive a peel-back and that part of the vinyl may no longer stick again.

    Once it's great, press a waxy-side piece of your Release Paper against the vinyl and give it a good pressure-smoothing. Don't chisel.

  • Slowly peel off the Application Tape. Peel too fast and you overcome the tacky-strength of the glue on the vinyl's sticky side. That will cause you problems. Pull from a corner in a diagonal direction slowly, but firmly (too hard even while slow will chance ripping the Application Tape). Now completed, you can crumple up the Application Tape or carefully reuse it. Check your design for wrinkles, bubbles, and tears. Pop bubbles, press gently as too hard equals a clear stretched squished spot.

  • Once your other side has the vinyl removed from the remaining Release Paper, then go ahead and repeat the smoothing down with the flat, non-ripping spatula or squeegee and press your vinyl (non-sticky side stuck to the Application Tape) through the Application Tape onto your surface. Bubbles can be gently poked and the air squeezed out, but wrinkles might be unfixable even with careful tweezer lifting. So don't try to crush-out wrinkles, it will make them worse and completely unfixable.
