Any tips on the application of bigger than A4 cut vinyl graphics?
How do the pro's do this?
Is there a solution so you can slide the graphic into place?
I'm sure I read somewhere you can use soapy water?

Thanks,
Andy

A bit of Fairy Liquid in the water works fine. I've used this technique a few times in the past applying graphics to such things as rally cars & vans etc in the past. Just make sure you keep the vehicle under cover until it's dry.

I think this is the 'hinge method'

Watch all the way through the video - i use the top hinge method with a length of masking all the way along the top or bottom edge, others use centre hinge method. I always try to apply dry but make sure you have cleaned and dried the area thoroughly.
