I do vinyl graphics for a living, what you want to do as said above is take a plastic spray bottle fill it with water & add 1 -2 drops fairy liquid #
then when you position the stripes , freehand or measured ,when you peel the backing paper off just spray a fine mist onto the adhesive side of the vinyl the squeegee down to get all the air bubbles out , leave for a minute or two then wet the application tape on top, rub in the liquid & the tape should come off nice & easy
when finished gently go over all the vinyl with a hot air gun on warm setting to seal it all off, if you get any bubbles just pop them with a pin
