graphics application

[Deadly300]

Just ordered my Metal Melisha graphic kit and was wandering what the tricks are to getting graphics on easily. thanks

1. Clean the plastic
2. Spray a fine mist of water on the plastics
3. Position the graphics where you want on the plastics
4. Press out as much water as you can with your hands
5. Take a blow dryer and heat up the graphic to adhere them to the plastics.

That is how I got mine done! And it looks decent I think! :macho

I work with my dad building custom signs and electrical signs. The easiest way is to use Rapid Tac application fluid or Window Juice. It allows you to slide the vinyl around and once it is right, you squeegee the fluid out of the vinyl. Try to get as many as the bubbles out as possible. If there are still some once it is dry, you can poke a pin hole in the center and squeegee it out some more. Also, make sure you do it in a warm environment. Vinyl can become brittle and hard to work with when cold. If you need to get old graphics off, use a hair dryer to heat it up while peeling it off at the same time. If it is cold, it will break every couple inches and be a pain to take off.
