Wow man, very detailed and great video. I'm getting into a lot of that now. I got some rapid tac products to try, do you happen to know if the same method can be done on car wrap? I've seen some that has a light glue like your decal and some that do not. If you happen to know let me know, but otherwise great video, explanation and install. Ive ripped so many decals in the past just being a hair off, should be flawless now.
Poor placement! If you would have placed it a bit more to the left, the tips of the graphic on the right would have ended on the door and not those tiny pieces on the cab,,
I really would use a spray setting of wider, for better coverage--the pointed spray just misses too much, IMO. One question: how can the wet side ever "cure" with a soap barrier? I don't pretend to know, but I would think? we would want a totally clean surface with some kind of adhesive to bond with the painted metal--no?
Ignoring the spec of something under the vinyl that you couldn't get out.... fairly certain the soap/water ratio was off a bit. I'd also strongly recommend leaving the transfer paper on for at least 12 hrs as removing it can pull the decal back off
That last bubble was driving me nuts. I was like "PLEASE GET THAT BEFORE THIS VIDEO ENDS!!!" But he tried. And didn't get it out... And now I'm ruined.
Something I have never understood how does that soapy water not affect the adhesiveness of the vinyl sticker and is there any special kind of soap and water mix that she used to do that so it won’t affect the sticker
2 small drops of any dish soap( I use dawn) in approximately 500ml /16oz of water. most of the soap/water gets squeezed out , but a small micro layer actually promotes the adhesive to stick better as it evaporates. When it's 100% dry, the soap actually helps it stick better. The wet method is exclusively used in window tinting, when this is done, the window actually starts out hazy because of the soap/water mixing with the adhesive and as it dries, it becomes crystal clear. This is the same with the vinyl decals, you just can't see it. hope this helps.
