How to apply your vinyl

**troubleshooting**  If you have a hard time getting the vinyl to stick to your wall instead of the masking here is a tip from the manufactures of oracal 631 vinyl.

This can be done with a standard issue heat gun or even a good quality hair dryer. Set the heat on your hair dryer to high.  Here’s the process in three easy steps.

1. Heat the masked graphic for two minutes, holding the dryer or heat gun about 2 inches from the tape.
2. Apply pressure with a squeegee to force the tape’s warm adhesive into the 631’s textured face stock.
3. Turn the masked graphic over, set it flat on the table, and peel the liner backwards, away from the tape. It will come off cleanly and easily.

Step three is very important. Many Oracal vinyls resist releasing because of their denser face stock. This is especially true of thinner vinyls like 651 Intermediate Cal.    Adopting the “Oracal flip tip” has made life easier for lots of our customers.   Heating the tape before you flip the vinyl will produce the same happy results with 631.
