Decorative Window Film Installation Instructions |
Tools: Scissors, Tape Measure, Razor Knife, Ruler, Plastic Card Squeegee, Spray Bottle, and Paper Towel. |
| | 1. Clean the areas to which the film is to be applied, removing all traces of dirt, grime, grease,
etc. 2. Carefully
measure the height and width of the glass surface. Oversize the film up to 3/4" extra material on each side of
the film and cut the film to this size. |
| 3. Create your own wetting solution by adding 8 drops (a one second short
squeeze) of very mild detergent (baby shampoo or dish detergent like "Joy" NOT HAND SOAP) into a 32oz. spray
bottle filled with water. |
| 4. Lay the cut to size decorative film on a clean flat surface with the release
liner up, or have someone hold the piece to be applied for you. Remove the release liner and spray the now exposed adhesive
surface thoroughly with the wetting solution. Apply a generous amount of the wetting
solution to the glass. The wetting solution prevents the film from sticking to the surface immediately, thereby allowing you
more time in which to properly position the film. |
| | 5. Place the now wet film onto the clean glass surface. Wet the face of the
film to be squeegeed. Use the plastic card squeegee and squeegee from the center out towards the edges to remove any air bubbles
and wetting solution. Double check that the film is flat and smooth with no remaining air bubbles and water . |
| | 6. If any bubbles
are not removed after Step 4, then squeegee them out towards the closest edge. |
| | 7. Trim the excess
film from the edges of the surface. It is ideal to cut in one continuous movement, using the ruler and razor knife. Use the
paper towels for cleaning the glass surface and for the absorption of excess wetting solution around the edges. 8. The film
may take a few days to dry in order for it to completely adhere to the glass surface. |
