Tip of the Day



Slip 'N Slide Application

Ever put a decal on glass and have it stick too quick...and you couldn't straighten it out? Today you'll learn how to end decal frustration with ?slip ?n slide? application used by the pros. Here's a trick learned from a guy who installs those big sheets of window film. So how do they get these super-size decals so flat and smooth and right where they want 'em without bubbles, wrinkles, or waste? It's easy when you know how! Just put a few drops of dish detergent in a spray bottle filled with water. Wet down the decal and the area where it's supposed go, put the decal in place, and slide it around until it's just right. Once in position, squeegee the surface, and presto-glom-o, it'll stick like magic! This works to position anything with a sticky back on almost anything else: contact paper in drawers; non-skid decals on tubs; you name it! If it's sticky-backed, first spritz, then ?slip n? slide? it!
