Can I use soapy water to apply the stickers?
Yes, you can use wet application on all vinyl stickers. Generally, for smaller stickers dry application is just fine. The premium and permanent/promotional vinyl we offer has air release technology. This means there are air egress channels which would eliminate any bubbling or wrinkling during application.
However, for larger stickers, wet application is great to better align the vinyl stickers.We recommend a very small ratio of soap to water. Approximately 1 drop of dishwashing soap per cup of cold/room temperature water. Johnson's baby shampoo is the best lubricant for large adhesives. With wet application, you're able to soft install (don't press hard) allowing you to slide the sticker to the exact position you want.
Then, slowly work from the centre outwards to squeegee the water out. When doing so, please squeegee gently because it's possible to scratch off the ink if you're to abrasive. If you're using a credit card to apply it is recommended to wrap it in something soft like a microfibre towel or a damp lint free paper towel.
Please allow 24 hours to dry at ambient temperature. Avoid a heat gun/hair dryer to accelerate drying as this can lead to adhesive failure and trap water behind. Always dry the area around the sticker with paper towel after installation to avoid water dripping down the top and getting under the vinyl.
