WINDOW FILM INSTALLATION

Window film is applied using the wet method, which allows for easier installation. Milky white patches may occur in using the wet method, but these will disappear in approx. a week.

1. Clean the window making sure to remove all dirt, grease, etc.

2. Measure the height and width of the glass surface. Allow approx. 1/2 in. extra material on each side of the film and cut the film to size.

3. Lay the cut decorative film on a clean, flat surface with the release liner facing up, or have someone hold the piece to be applied for you. Remove the liner, spraying the water on the now exposed adhesive surface thoroughly, as the liner is removed.

4. Apply a GENEROUS amount of water to the glass. Cover the entire glass surface with the water. The water prevents the film from sticking to the surface immediately, thereby allowing more time in which to properly position the film.

5. Place the now wet film onto the glass surface. Spray a small amount of the water on the face of the film also. Remove the water and any air bubbles with the plastic squeegee working from the middle of the film to the outside edges.

6. If any air bubbles or water remains, use the squeegee to smooth them out as described in step 5. Be careful not to push too hard and tear the film.

7. Cut off the excess film from the edges using a sharp knife or razor and a ruler. Place the ruler along the inside edge of the window frame where you need to trim, and cut between the ruler and the frame of the window. It is ideal to cut in one continuous movement.

8. Use the paper towels to clean up any excess water.

TIPS

The film may take a few days to dry in order for it to completely adhere to the glass.

If you have bubbles that have not been worked out with the squeegee you may use a straight pin to pop the bubble and work the air out.

Make sure there are no dry spots on the film prior to placing it on the glass.

Take care when removing the release liner that the film does not roll over onto itself. It will stick together and is difficult to pull apart!

If the weather is extremely cold outside and your wetting solution is freezing on the window, windshield washer fluid may be substituted for the wetting solution.

ALL of the films have a liner applied to the back of them. If you are having trouble removing the liner, apply a piece of tape on the front, and one on the back of one of the corners of the film. As you peel the two pieces of tape apart, the liner should peel away from the film along with the tape.
