Vinyl Application
Every vinyl decal and lettering application has it's own unique challenges. Though we try to make application as easy as possible, we also understand that sometimes you just want the best of the best with little room for error. Use these vinyl application products below as a way to help simplify your custom decal application experience. We personally use many of these products here at our corporate office when applying our own vinyl decals and stickers.
We suggest using the wet application method when applying large format decals and vinyl lettering. The wet application method only works on solvent based adhesives like the ones used in our decal manufacturing. The wet application method helps smooth out your decal and eliminate air bubbles. It also helps protect your decal from premature adhesion to your surface. The accessories below help with this process.

Felt Tipped Squeegee
Felt tipped or wrapped squeegee offers a firm edge but soft enough to help protect the vinyl graphics from scratching during application. Save time and money by eliminating the need to " wrap" a squeegee, or using a premask. Most of our decals come premasked for easy application however additional squeegeeing may be necessary after the transfer tape (aka premask) is removed. If this happens to you - you'll be glad you have a felt-wrapped squeeg... Felt Tipped Squeegee
