Arggh... applying side art
mmmPeanutButter:
I applied my centipede side art today. I put the windex on the cabinet. I placed the side art and squeegied out the windex.
My question is this:
how long do I have to wait before the sticker is actually stuck? Its been about an hour and nothing. If I screwed this up somehow, I'm considering losing my mind (if this bush in office wasn't bad enough!),
RayB:
Was the Windex diluted with water?
Tailgunner:
I'd give it at least 24 hours.
SirPeale:
You shouldn't use Windex because the solvents in it can destroy the adhesive over time.

Really?? I thought eveybody always said windex? Does OSCAR use windex? I thought he had (I could be way off there).
So I used it and waited over night. Its sticking pretty well. Well enough that I was able to remove the masking. It looks pretty good. There are a couple of loose spots, but I'll give it a little more time.
When I did my black vinyl, I cut and put it where I want. I removed a small corner of the backing and then stuck the piece to the cabinet. I then slowly removed the backing while pressing the vinyl with a plastic scraper. I was going to use this method for the sides, but ultimately went with the windex (because you can move it around).
So I've only done one side... how should I do the other??
Will my left side art just fall off one day?? I guess there's nothing I can do about it now. :'(
