Frosted Window Stickers - Suggested Application Instructions

Plotter Cut Frosted Window Stickers (without any printing) are almost always applied to the inside of the window. Step 1 Before applying the window stickers, always ensure that the window has been thoroughly cleaned. Once the window has been cleaned, thoroughly wet the glass. We recommend using a spray bottle containing water with a few drops of washing up liquid.

Applying to wet glass means that you can reposition your sticker more easily to make sure it’s in the correct position. Step 2 Place the sticker on a hard flat surface with the application tape on the top. Smooth down the application tape across the entire sticker using our recommended squeegee (or a credit card wrapped in a paper towel) to make sure it is firmly attached to the frosted vinyl underneath. Step 3 Lift up a corner of the application tape and begin to slowly peel it back. The application tape needs to lift the frosted window sticker off the white backing paper. As you lift the sticker from the backing paper, spray the sticky side of the vinyl with water to avoid it sticking to itself. Try not to get the white backing paper wet as you do this. Continue to carefully and slowly peel back the application tape lifting the entire design from the backing paper, spraying it as you lift. You may wish to tape the backing paper down or ask someone else to hold it down for you, particularly if the design is very large. Step 4 Once the entire frosted window sticker has been lifted, move the white backing paper out of the way and hold your sticker near the window in the position that you’d like it to be applied. Step 5 With the frosted window sticker in the final position, carefully lower the top edge of the sticker onto the window and press the edge down. You can position the top edge of the sticker by sliding it around on the wet surface until it is in the correct position. Starting at the top-centre and working horizontally, use the squeegee to push the trapped water out at the sides as you lower the rest of the sticker onto the window. Step 6 Once the sticker is fully applied and all excess water has been removed using the squeegee, leave the application tape on the window sticker for 24 hours. This allows the sticker to dry out and adhere fully to the window. Where applicable, after 24 hours have passed, carefully remove the application tape to reveal your finished frosted window sticker.
