Applying graphics -- any "gotchas"?

[QUOTE="MXGirl230, post: 1324001, member: 37787"] I don't use heat right away when applying the new graphics, I use it later when I'm done. I never had any luck with soap and water to apply graphics. I always use glass cleaner. Once you spray down the piece of plastic lay the new graphic down and by using the glass cleaner you can slide it around on the plastic easier. Try to have it pretty close on the first try. You don't want to have it nowhere near where it should lay and have to work it back into place. Once you have it in place use your plastic squeegee to start from the middle and work your way out. Don't rush it, take your time. After you have worked all of the air bubbles out, you can then use heat to tighten up the sides and around the bolt holes. Once all of that is in place I will use the heat across the whole piece. TAKE YOUR TIME! Don't try to slap them on in a few minutes. Make sure you have everything ready. If by some chance you still have air bubbles you can use a small pin to poke the air pocket and use the squeegee to push the air out of the hole. Then you can use the heat to seal that area back up. Graphics always apply better to new plastic. If you are using old plastic make sure it's clean. The few times I have used old plastic I wipe everything down with rubbing alcohol. [/QUOTE]
