Black Oyama "stickers"

[AhLoon]

I'd tried wetting the surface of the tank prior to pasting Oyama, then, pushing the bubbles out using a ruler or some flat surface... but to no avail...

Anybody here who'd done this successfully can share how you do it (without the air bubbles trapped inside)?

It looks damn unsightly when air bubbles can be seen...

Haha I also would like to know.. i used a plastic ruler smooth here smooth there no use.. so I gave up in the end

bro,

use either "soap" water or those for cleaning the window spray is better.

do not tear fully the linear first,

align one end right angle first, slow tear away the linear,

use a longer ruler to push as you pull the linear,

you may need a helper.

also your sticker should be at least 2-3 cm bigger all round,

later use a pen knife to trim away the excess.

Most of the time it is rolled up, so work in the same direction. I find using a credit card have more control.

maybe deepblue bro can help here..

Thanks for all the feedback. Will try again using the soap water technique before seeking help.

Thanks again everybody.

Be careful not to apply TOO MUCH soap. I did it once and the end product, though is bubble free, but is not secure on the glass and can shift easily.

I attached mine with the soap water method. No problem at all. Once attached wipe it with a dry cloth to remove the soap water/air buble. Give it a day to dry and it will looks fantastic!

ah... just an update to people who are interested in getting rid of the air bubbles.

I tried the soap water method, and it worked great! Thanks to everybody's feedback and warnings, I managed to paste the oyama to my tank with almost no bubbles at all (some are still there due to uneven edges of silicon gel at the edge of my tank).

The trick is not to spray the whole surface with soap water, but rather, just keep the part of the Oyama thats about to be pasted to the glass lathered with soap water... it'll give the air bubbles enough room to be pushed out using credit cards or rulers (whatever)...

Cheers.
