Materials Needed:

• FDC 4826 24” 107 Silver R Tape VinylEfx® Smooth Mirror Decal Sign Vinyl
• Cutting tool (vinyl cutter or plotter)
• Weeding tool
• Transfer tape
• Squeegee or application tool
• Clean cloth
• Mild detergent and water
• Masking tape (optional)

Step-by-Step Application Instructions:

1. Prepare the Surface:
   • Clean the surface where the vinyl will be applied using a mild detergent and water. Ensure it is free from dust, dirt, and oils. Wipe the surface dry with a clean cloth.
2. Cut the Vinyl:
   • Using a vinyl cutter or plotter, cut your design into the FDC 4826 Silver R Tape VinylEfx® Smooth Mirror vinyl. Make sure to adjust the blade settings according to the vinyl’s thickness for precise cuts.
3. Weed the Vinyl:
   • Carefully remove the excess vinyl from around your design using a weeding tool. Take your time to ensure all the unwanted vinyl is removed, leaving only your desired design on the backing paper.
4. Apply Transfer Tape:
   • Cut a piece of transfer tape slightly larger than your design. Peel the backing from the transfer tape and carefully place it over the top of your weeded design. Use a squeegee or application tool to smooth the transfer tape onto the vinyl, ensuring there are no air bubbles.
5. Prepare for Application:
   • If desired, use masking tape to position and secure the transfer tape with the vinyl design onto your application surface. This helps keep the design in place and ensures proper alignment.
6. Apply the Vinyl:
   • Starting from one edge, carefully peel the backing paper away from the vinyl, ensuring the vinyl adheres to the transfer tape. If any part of the vinyl lifts with the backing paper, reapply the transfer tape and press down firmly with the squeegee.
   • Position the transfer tape with the vinyl design onto the prepared surface. Use the squeegee to firmly press the vinyl onto the surface, working from the center outwards to remove any air bubbles and ensure proper adhesion.
7. Remove Transfer Tape:
   • Slowly and carefully peel away the transfer tape, ensuring the vinyl design remains adhered to the application surface. If any part of the vinyl lifts with the transfer tape, press it back down and reapply pressure with the squeegee.
8. Final Touches:
   • Inspect the applied vinyl for any remaining air bubbles. If any are present, use the squeegee or a clean cloth to smooth them out by pressing from the center of the bubble towards the edge.

Tips for Best Results:

• Apply vinyl in a clean, dust-free environment to avoid particles getting trapped under the vinyl.
• Ensure the application surface is completely dry before applying the vinyl.
• Use a firm, even pressure when applying the vinyl to ensure good adhesion and a smooth finish.
• For larger designs, consider having an extra pair of hands to help with positioning and applying the vinyl.
