Applying Vinyl Stickers To Glass

We recommend that you cover the entire mug and not just the decal because you will see some little brushstrokes.

Applying vinyl stickers to glass.

When applying vinyl to glass you need to leave the finished project for a day or two afterwards before using and washing it. Once again focus on one section at a time and press from the middle out towards the edge. Burnish the decal. Use your burnishing tool or scraper to ensure it is completely stuck down.

Aim to do this in a fluid motion to prevent any air bubbles from forming. How to avoid bubbles when applying vinyl when working with vinyl and other similar materials much of the finished product depends on your techniques. I have made several thousand items with adhesive vinyl so i have become quite fluent with application of the material. So cut the tape and the backing down as close to the vinyl as you can before peeling off the tape to transfer it to the glass.

This allows the adhesive to fully adhere. For static cling decals use a wet solution to apply large decals and the dry method for small decals. Method 1 finding a place for the decal. To apply adhesive decals clean the area properly remove the protective cover position the decal and use a hard plastic object like a credit card to apply it and remove bubbles.

They can really stand out if only on the vinyl but it looks like it was meant to be that way if you cover the whole mug. Place the middle of the design down on the glass first lining up the bottom edge with the water line left below. Pinch the vertical edges of the vinyl sticker as you place it down. It is best to hand wash this type of thing though personally i do put mugs with the same vinyl through the dishwasher and they re totally fine.

Now you have one side completely done. Cut out your wording with whatever color vinyl you want weed it and then start putting the vinyl on glass part of your frame. Use the least amount of tape as possible. Try applying the center of the sticker first then press the outer edges of the vinyl sticker into place.

While i m looking at my computer i lay mine on top of the glass first to gauge where i want everything. To start on the other side remove the remaining backing paper. Apply the vinyl decal.
