HOW TO APPLY SHOPEMILYG SKINS

• Clean, Clean, Clean! Find a clean workspace, preferably a flat surface  where you can stabilize your device. Make sure your hands are clean &  dry. Lastly, be sure your device is clean. Use a damp paper towel to clean  the surfaces you will be applying the skin to. The cleaner, the better.  Make sure your device is dry before you begin.  

• Peel It! Simply grab a corner of the vinyl skin and gently peel the backing  away.  As you peel it from the backing, try to refrain from touching the  adhesive side as much as possible. For any thin areas, be sure to lift carefully  to avoid stretching the vinyl.  

•  Apply It! Refrain from applying firm pressure until it’s exactly where you  want it. That way you’ll be able to lift up and reposition until you get it  right. For most surfaces, the skin will be able to slide on the surface. Start by  aligning it around buttons (if applicable) or any part of the device that it’s  super obvious where the skin lines up best.   

• Stick It! Now that everything is perfectly aligned, start applying pressure  from the center and work your way out towards the edge of the device.  This is especially important when working with a device with curved edges.  You'll want to push with your thumb out towards the curved edge to  smooth out those bumps.   

• Blow Dry It! Blow dryers are magical when working with vinyl for smoothing  out wrinkles, bubbles or stubborn areas that do not look right. Simply use  a blow dryer on HIGH heat for a few seconds to heat up the vinyl. Then, with  firm pressure, use your thumb to smooth out the vinyl where you were having  trouble. Heat helps to reactivate the stickiness of the vinyl too if you’ve had  to apply and reposition the decal a few times to get it in the correct position.
