THE EASY WAY TO INSTALL VINYL DECALS: The Hinge Method

The Easy Way To Install Vinyl Decals | The Hinge Method where you hinge the decal/sticker in the middle and lay down the one side at a time. This might take some practice to get good at applying decals with this method. I've found that it's the easiest way to keep from destroying your new decal. Also make sure the decal is pressed into the transfer paper so it won't lift when separating from the backing.

Pro-tip: If you get an air bubble under the vinyl, stick a pin or a sewing needle in the middle of the bubble, where it is most raised, then squeegee toward the hole, the bubble will flatten out and the hole will be invisible. Also, car wax helps vinyl decals last a very long time.

[@FadeToBlackLLC]

Yep, good tip for those that don't know 👍🏾

[@floridagirl9064]

Even on the glass we can wax?

[@MrFishBlood]

@@floridagirl9064 sure. With most (maybe all) car waxes you can, and should, do the glass too.

[@newkid5534]

Above or under the sticker

[@MrFishBlood]

@@newkid5534 air bubbles would be under the decal, wax goes over the decal.
