CUT VINYL
There is no set way to apply vinyl graphics but there are several techniques that make things easier. This method covers applying Vinyl Logos which is usually a piece wider than it is high. Working top to bottom seems to work best in this situation. Always important to remember at all times, is that the surface must be smooth and clean of dust or grit. Heavy surface wax build up may cause problems later on with the graphic coming loose.

Align the graphic positioned as you wish. A piece of masking tape runs along the top edge will hold it straight as shown and the graphic will hang down. |
Swing the graphic upward on the tape "hinge" and remove the backing paper. Be careful not to let the letters catch or that you pull the graphics off all together. |

Slowly let the graphic "roll" evenly to the surface and squeegee downwards removing air bubbles and assuring good adhesion with the finished surface. |
Slowly remove the carrier paper making sure you don't pull any of the graphic back with it. If properly squeegeed this will not be a problem. |
A soft cloth can be rubbed over the finished graphic to assure good adhesion of the vinyl to the surface. Small air bubbles may still be able to be worked out but if you cleaned the surface good enough to begin with you should end up with a clean flat finish. |

In many cases involving small minor air bubbles they seem to disperse on their own in a day or two, but again these are small and minor.
