    100% correct/agree with Jester. Correct tools for the job and post heat is an absolute must to the proper temp for the vinyl you are using I have various squeegees and tools for wrapping. Micro, 6" squeegees, gloves, etc, etc. If you are new to wrapping, just a plain 'ol squeege will not do it.
