From the 3M Bulletin

After the film has been applied, apply heat to the graphic to reduce the internal stress in the vinyl film.
1. Adjust the heat source so that the film temperature is too hot to touch—about 200°F (94°C).
2. Move the heat source slowly across the stretched film surface.
3. For best performance, press the stretched areas of film with 3M roller S while the vinyl is still hot. This helps fully wet-out the adhesive onto the substrate and reduces the risk of lifting.
