Window Decal Application - Frosted Border

What you’ll need…
A spray bottle, washing up liquid, scissors (or sharp blade) and kitchen roll.
We have popped a felt squeegee applicator in your order for you!
First things first…
Make sure your window is sparkling clean. You don’t want dirt to be trapped underneath and ruin your privacy film! Then, fill your spray bottle with water, add a few drops of washing up liquid and give a little shake.
The wetter the better…
Positioning on the window is so much easier if both the window and film are covered in plenty water. So, thoroughly spray your window with water.
Now two pairs of hands comes in really useful here! To stop the film sticking to itself, one person peel the film off the backing paper whilst the other person sprays the sticky side generously with water.
Time for a trim…
Nobody needs excessive film flapping about and getting in the way! If you have a lot of overhang around any edges cut off the excess so you’re left with only small amounts to fine trim. Be careful not to over cut though!
Tackling those edges…
Use the plastic edge of the squeegee and slide it all around sides, pressing into the edges, creating creases where the film will eventually be cut to fit.
If fitting a full window panel you will have gathered folds of film in the corners, but don’t fret! On each corner peel back the film and with scissors cut into the corners being careful not to cut inside the creased areas, less is more! You can always cut in again later if you need to. You won’t have this issue with the border decal.
Slice with a knife…
So, knife or scissors? We Dizzy Ducks prefer to use a craft knife to trim the edges of the film but you can use scissors too if that’s all you have to hand.
Use the plastic edge of the squeegee to hold the blade into the edges of the window. Move the squeegee and blade together down the edges, slicing the film.
Slice with a knife…
Peel the film away from the side of the window and use the crease as a guide for cutting. Steady hand and a good pair of eyes and you’re away! Just watch out for those corners!
Or snip with scissors…
We are a small family business and pride ourselves on great customer service.
So, if you have any questions or need any help please do get in touch with us.
Nearly there…
All there’s left to do now is give the whole thing a wipe down to remove any left-over water and squeegee again if needs be. Now you’re all done you can stand back and admire all your handiwork!
