Best Results With Vinyl Sign Application:
Get the sign well aligned with three or four pieces of tape, not too big. Then, you are going to use the wide tape to create a "hinge" across the top of the sign, and I mean ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE TOP. No gaps. I do not recommend gaps.Now, you have the sign in place and taped across the top only. It is where you want it on the wall, and hinged across the top. You are going to take an X-acto type knife, and cut the sign into small pieces, about one foot wide, NO BIGGER. They will remain hinged at the top.
You need to cut all the way through the sign, but not the tape, so you can lift up each piece and so EACH PIECE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE NEXT ONE.
You are now ready to begin applying the sign to the wall. Start on either end, and first, take your burnisher (rectangular piece of plastic that the signmaker gave you with the sign) and rub the letters. You do not have to do this too hard - just to ensure that the letters are still adhered to the plastic. Then, s l o w l y . . . begin to peel the paper away from the plastic, making sure the letters remain attached to the plastic. Do not press the plastic down to the wall just yet. Get the paper completely away from the plastic, and then, most carefully and gently apply the plastic down to the wall. Hold the plastic by the bottom corners and gently pull it out at 45 degree angles, to make sure there are no wrinkles, because if the plastic gets wrinkled, there is a good chance that the vinyl letters will get wrinkles, too, or the plastic might be applied in a crooked fashion. You do not want that.
