Adhesive Media & Vinyl Installation

Service Description

Vinyl wrap installation involves preparing the surface, measuring and cutting the vinyl, partially removing the liner, tacking down the wrap, and squeegeeing it into place for a smooth, bubble-free finish. Here's a more detailed breakdown: 1. Preparation is Key: Thorough Cleaning: Start by cleaning the surface where you'll apply the vinyl wrap with a solvent and water to remove any dirt, grease, or debris. Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is completely dry and free of any imperfections. 2. Measuring and Cutting: Measure Application Area: Accurately measure the area where you'll be applying the vinyl wrap. Plan Placement: Plan the placement of the vinyl wrap to ensure a clean and professional look. Trim Vinyl: Roughly trim the vinyl to size, leaving some extra for adjustments. 3. Application Process: Partially Remove Liner: Partially peel away the liner from the backing of the vinyl. Tack Down the Wrap: Gently tack down one edge of the vinyl wrap to the vehicle, allowing for easy adjustment. Squeegee into Place: Use a squeegee to smooth out the vinyl wrap, pressing it firmly against the surface and removing any air bubbles or wrinkles. Wet Application (Optional): For more complex areas, consider using a wet application method where you mist the adhesive side of the vinyl and the surface with application fluid before applying. 4. Finishing Touches: Trim Excess: Once the vinyl is in place, trim any excess material with a sharp knife or razor. Re-Squeegee: Re-squeegee the areas to ensure a smooth, bubble-free finish. Heat Gun (Optional): For difficult curves or corners, you can use a heat gun to heat and stretch the vinyl for a better fit. Peel Tape (Optional): For some vinyl wraps, you can use peel tape to help with application and removal.
