Clear Vinyl onto Glass

[I-Style]

Hello all,

first please refer from use the search ... tried that!

My question i have to apply a 220 x 90 cm clear printed vinyl on a glass door,
tried it yesterday, step one cleaned the glass with window cleaner, wetted the glass because our water has lots of limescale in i used purified water, as soon as the foil is on and i squeegees it you can see a small film which looks like limescale to me, what do i do wrong.

Thanx for any help

Frank

You sure its just not the adhesive of the vinyl?

My process is this.

Clean window
Wipe with isopropyl alcohol
Spray on water+vinyl lube
Drop vinyl on
Squeegee

Haven't had a problem with a second surface application like this before.

Make sure you only use clear vinyl with solvent based adhesives in a wet install on glass.

Aqueous based adhesives will turn 'milky' during a wet install but will eventually turn clear after the adhesive thoroughly dries out.
