help needed for stripes

[Justmark]

Can anyone advise me on the best way to put rs2000 stripes on my car. I have been told to use water,if this is true do i wet the car then apply the sticky side straight on to it. and if so how stiky will they be when its dry the stripes are from D M B Graphics

The adhesive on the vinyl is waterproof, so when it dries the stickers will be completely stuck

 

Just squeegee out as much water (and air) as poss

when i do vinyl s i use 1teaspoon of fairy liquid too 2pints of water in a spray bottle . spray onto the back of graphic as you peel of release paper stops it sticking to itself if wind catches it.then squewwgy over the vinyl when positioned, what ever you do dont apply it dry you will regret it !!!

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
