Applying vinyl Graphics from Waymatic
 

WE RECOMMEND YOU GET AN EXPERIENCED SIGN PROFESSIONAL TO APPLY THE VINYL TO ENSURE A QUALITY APPLICATION.

If this is your first time applying this type of material, just go slow and you should do fine.  Be sure to read all of the steps below before starting.

BE SURE TO CLEAN THE AREA YOU WISH TO APPLY THE GRAPHIC TO THOROUGHLY BEFORE STARTING.  USE WINDEX OR ANY TYPE OF GLASS CLEANER TO REMOVE DIRT AND OIL.
STEP 1:  Center your material on the panel left and right.

Using your tape measurer, find the left and right edges of the vinyl graphic. (Be careful not to measure from the edge of the application tape but the edge of the vinyl.) Tape your graphic on the left and right top to keep it held in place as you measure.  Make sure you have the same amount of space on each side, adjust your tape as needed.
STEP 2:  Center your material on the panel top and bottom.

Again, make sure you are measuring from the edge of the vinyl graphic and not the edge of the application tape.
STEP 3:  Anchor the graphic to the panel in the center.

Once you have the graphic centered, apply a piece of tape down the center of the graphic from top to bottom. (Make sure to go completely over the edges of the application tape onto the panel below.)  This will create a hinge for easy and secure application.
STEP 4:  Separate vinyl from backing material.

Carefully separate the application tape and vinyl from the backing material.  Pull back slowly and stopping once you reach your taped seam. (Be careful not to go past the seam.)
STEP 5:  CAREFULLY cut the backing material away.

You can use a small piece of tape on the left corner to hold it up while cutting.  BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO CUT THE PANEL BELOW THE GRAPHIC, it will show up under the vinyl.  Discard the backing material you cut away.
STEP 6:  Apply the right side.

Holding the right side of the vinyl a couple of inches above the panel, be careful not to pull as it will stretch the vinyl, start at the left of the tape seam in the middle of the graphic and move right in an up and down motion with your squeegee (Moderate pressure should do fine). Be sure to overlap your strokes keeping all air bubbles from getting trapped underneath the vinyl.  (If you get some bubble under the vinyl, just continue applying the graphic, you can get rid of most of them at the end.)  Be careful (If you do not have a squeegee, you can get one at any art supply store or your local sign shop.)
STEP 7:  Separate left side vinyl from backing material.

Remove the center tape hinge.  Separate the vinyl from the application tape on the left pulling back to the the edge of the previously applied vinyl.  (You can pull it back past this edge  a little if you are very careful when staring the next step.)
STEP 8:  Apply the left side.

Carefully holding the left corner about 2 inches above the panel surface, start your squeegee up and down motion to the right of the seam where the tape hinge was.  Being careful to overlap you motions to keep air bubbles out, move left until you have applied the left side.
STEP 9:  Remove application tape.

VERY CAREFULLY AND SLOWLY remove the the top layer application tape from the vinyl.  Be sure to pull downward at an angle and hold the the application tape close to the panel.  DO NOT PULL AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE.  Keep an eye on the vinyl and make sure you are not removing the vinyl with the tape.
 

Trouble shooting:

Air Bubbles: If you get some air bubbles under your material, you can use a very sharp knife and "pop" them.  Use the knife blade to place a small hole in the bubble at one edge.  Take you finger and start at the opposite edge and push the air out of the hole.

Vinyl keeps peeling up when you try to remove application tape: Make sure the surface under the vinyl is clean.  If so, use more pressure with your squeegee.
