I just got the Alba Flame graphics kit. I was just wondering if anyone had any tips or tricks for putting them on.



Thanks,

 

Obviously a clean surface, then use a spray bottle with soapy water, yep... soak the area down very well making sure there's plenty of soap (I use dish soap)... apply sticker and squeegee out air/water bubbles once positioned exactly where you want it.

The soap has no effect on the adhesion, and allows you the opportunity to move the graphic around before becoming committed to where it's stuck.

If you put them on dry, the first contact will be where they are... no second chances.

I've done lots of graphics on plastic, metal, etc...

Cool thanks for the Tip!
Now i live in RI and it is very cold out right now.Should i wait until it warms up?
I store it in my garage which doesn't have heat, will this effect the stickers while applying them?
How much soap do you use?
Any tips on a seat cover?


Thanks

He's waiting on a reply I think. I never put on a graphics kit so I can't help much.

 

I would at least wait till its in the high 50's low 60's. You only need a little soap.

 

DO not put them on when it's cold out!!! I'd wait until at least 70 degrees, or find a shop to leave it in overnite. The stickers will be brittle, and won't stick nearly as well, not to mention your water mix will probably freeze.

Not alot of soap, just enough to make a nice bubbly mix.
