Tips for self adhesive vinyl instal on cocktail cabinet top

[rabidpuppy]

I've got a table top for a cocktail cabinet I'm making. 

It is 16mm painted MDF, and has the monitor hole cut.  A piece of glass will go on top.

I have a single large piece of self adhesive vinyl with the artwork, it doesn't have anything cut out.

I'm looking for application tips / how-to videos.   I'm not sure what the best way is when there is the hole out of the table top.    I had another piece of the same type of vinyl that I put on a monitor bezel for my upright, and had issues putting it on due to the cut out hole, on either side of the hole was hard to keep lined up.

Do I put something temporarily in the hole to help keep the vinyl straight?

Lots of good information on applying vinyl in this thread.

Look for the part of the video where he deals with the coin door hole in the kickplate.

Do it in a clean dust free workspace. I threw plenty out working in an outside she'd because of dirt or something getting underneath it causing tiny little bumps that you can't really get rid of.
