Step 1
Measure the window and cut the film to size with 2cm excess all round.
|
|
Step 2
Clean glass thoroughly with a few drops of baby shampoo in a spray bottle of filtered or bottled water.
Do not use vinegar or ammonia solution. |
|
Step 3
Use two pieces of adhesive tape at top corner to start separation of the backing from the film.
|
|
Step 4
Spray the glass liberally with same baby shampoo/water mix as used to clean glass in step 1.
|
|
Step 5
Liberally spray the adhesive side of the film with the same solution as used in step 1 whilst peeling off
the backing. |
|
Step 6
Starting at the top, place the wet adhesive side of the film onto the wet glass and work down the window. |
|
Step 7
Squeegee any bubbles to within 2cm of the window edge. keep the film surface wet to allow the
squeegee to pull easily across it. |
|
Step 8
Use a utility knife to trim the film leaving a 2mm border between the edge of the film and the window. |
|
Step 9
Re-spray the surface of the film and squeegee out any bubbles to escape through the gap between the
film and the edge of the window. |

HINTS
- Before laminating make sure glass surface is very clean, free of dirt and dust particles. Use a lint free
cleaning cloth.
- Don't leave dry spots on film before laminating.
- Don't press so hard on the squeegee that you stretch the film.
- Water bubbles (not air bubbles) still remaining after squeegee will usually evaporate within 2-3 days.
- For stubborn water or air bubbles prick the film with a small sharp pin and squeegee again pressing the film against the glass to facilitate adhesion.
- To maintain film surface do not use vinegar or strong detergents.
