Installing perforated vinyl

[JoySigns]

I have to install some perf. vinyl onto some simple flat windows (3' x 4'). This will be a first for me of working with the stuff. Any special tricks or tips on this material?
Thanks.

Just slap it on. Its easier than normal vinyl.

it is easier than regular,

couple of points
* don't pull hard if non-laminated will tear,
* use a felt or felt edge squeegee, hard edge seems to mess the print up more than regular vinyl
* seal the edges, they will curl if exposed a lot quicker than regular.

It's laminated. Going on some building windows. What do I seal the edges with?

3M Edgeseal is one thing you can use to prevent lifting on your edges.

Would FrogJuice work for sealing edges? I have that.

Im not sure if that would work to be honest I have never worked with it. I read a little about it and it does not sound like something to use for edge sealing.

Don't use edge sealer on perf, just take a thin strip of laminate. but, most of the time on building windows you can just lay it and not use anything on the edges.

Just use a thin strip of the same laminate.

Since it is laminated, easiest is to cut the window perf down about 1/4" from the needed size before lamination and use the extra lamination as your sealer

I don't have any of the laminate. This was outsourced for printing and came laminated. Looks like I may be just leaving it unsealed. I can get the 3-M Edge seal if really needed though.
