Using Self-Adhesive Vinyl
Now that you have your self-adhesive vinyl, let’s learn what to do with it. Here are a few steps you can take:
Prepare: Ensure the surface you intend to stick the vinyl on is clean and dry. This helps the Decorative Vinyl adhere more successfully.
Peel and stick: Gently peel the backing off the vinyl to expose the sticky side. After that, peel the vinyl off and press it onto the surface very well so it sticks.
Smoothing out bubbles: If you see any bubbles/wrinkles in the vinyl, then use a credit card or your fingers to push it out
Seal the edges: You can use the sticky vinyl sealant to cover the edge to make it last longer.
