MEASURE, CUT AND CLEAN
Carefully measure the height and width of the glass surface. Cut the lm to
the dimensions, leaving an extra ½ inch to 1 inch around all sides. You’ll be
able to trim the edges down to size in the nal step. Thoroughly clean the
surface of the glass to remove any trace of dust, grime and grease. Use low-
lint towels to clean the surface.
PEEL AND PREP
Lay the lm on a clean, at surface with the liner facing up. Slowly peel back
the liner, wetting the adhesive side of the lm very thoroughly as you peel
down. If you can’t separate the liner from the lm, place a piece of scotch
tape on both sides of the sheet, fold the tape over to create tabs, and use
the tabs to separate the two sides. If you are working with a large piece of
lm, it is helpful for two people to work together. After you remove the
liner, rinse and dip ngers in water before handling the lm. Wet ngers
will prevent ngerprints on the adhesive surface.
GET IT WET
Thoroughly spray and soak the glass surface AND the adhesive side of the lm
with the water mixture. Wetter is better! There is no such thing as too much
water. The water will allow you to easily apply and reposition the lm before
you squeegee—and any excess water will evaporate as the lm fully adheres.
APPLY AND SMOOTH
Pick up the lm by the top corners, keeping it straight and level. Place the
wet lm onto the wet surface, keeping the top edge level but letting the
lm hang over the edges of the frame. Move, slide and reposition the lm as
needed. The water should allow it to oat and ow easily. Wet the outside
of the lm with the spray, then slide a squeegee over the wet lm to smooth
out and press the lm against the glass. Squeegee from the center moving
out, pushing bubbles and excess water out as you go.
TRIM AND FINISH
Double check that the lm is at and smooth. Locate the hard card and razor
that were included with your lm. If any bubbles remain, use the hard card to
push them towards the edge. Then, in one smooth, continuous motion, trim
the excess lm from the edges using the hard card and a razor knife. Once
the lm is trimmed, wrap the hard card in a paper towel and use it to push any
remaining bubbles and water to the outside edge. The lm will completely
dry and fully adhere within a few days.
