Troubleshooting
Air bubbles or creases during application
Gently lift the vinyl back to the point of the bubble or crease and reapply, smoothing more firmly. For stubborn bubbles, a pinprick to release air may be used cautiously.
Vinyl not sticking properly
Ensure the surface is completely clean, dry, and smooth. Reapply warmth with a hairdryer if needed to activate the adhesive.
Difficulty applying to corners or curves
Use a hairdryer on a low heat setting to gently warm the vinyl. This makes it more flexible and easier to stretch and mold around corners and curves. Do not overstretch.
Residue left after removal
Warm the area with a hairdryer to soften the adhesive, then gently peel. Any remaining residue can typically be removed with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth.
