This tutorial demonstrates vinyl wrap application on a Subaru BRZ. In the video, an installer demonstrates proper squeegee techniques to help viewers avoid trapped air and bubbles during installation. Squeegee pressure is one of the most critical elements of a clean install. If you squeegee too hard, the tool will not move across the vinyl surface. If you do not apply enough pressure, you leave air bubbles and trapped air behind under the film. Installers need to find the balanced amount of pressure that works for them. Overlapping squeegee strokes is another key technique because it allows air to flow out evenly toward the edges of the panel. For edges that are difficult to work with, lifting the vinyl up allows you to squeegee air out toward the perimeter much more easily. Following these steps helps produce a clean and smooth final finish across the entire vehicle. Aura Vinyl vinyl wrap features a PET-backed finish and a cast polymer hybrid construction with German-made adhesive.
FAQ
How do you prevent bubbles when using a squeegee on vinyl wrap?
Use balanced pressure and overlap your squeegee strokes to let air escape toward the edges. You can also lift the vinyl up to move air toward the edge more easily.
What happens if you push too hard with a wrap squeegee?
If you squeegee too hard, the squeegee will not move across the vinyl surface. Finding the right balanced pressure keeps the tool moving while eliminating bubbles.
