You put up each piece and leave 1.45" between each one.

Can't just set up the file, load etchmark RTA vinyl and plot/cut?

Same concept as any other cut job. As far as installing most wet apply.

Set first strip level and squeegee into place. Make a small piece of 1mm pvc and put 1.45” marks on pvc. Install next piece down and measure from bottom of first piece to the one you just install and slide new piece with your marked template, squeegee down and proceed on down the window. Use rapidTac on back of frost and glass. Do not let it dry on glass or streaks will be seen on lower pieces. Cleanleness is Godliness.

Cut file, weed, mask, trim square, apply to glass, collect cheque.

Love deep sing? This belongs in that other thread, I think.

This is where hand finished installed product works better than AI. Layout and cut with machine, mask with machine, applying to glass with hands and RapidTac. Hand Work just looks nicer and once you get good at it, twice as fast on install.

We did same but frost needs wet when we tried to squeeze the premask makes bubbles then we removed the premask and did one by one but takes lots of time so i wanna any another solution and how much should i charge per sqf in canada

There's no reason to premask it.

For spacing, use a laser or pieces of Gorilla or other thick tape cut to the 1.45" gap size. Butt your piece up to the tape.

Vinyl install can be time consuming but what you're showing is pretty straightforward.

There's no magic wand....you just have to do the work.

Love deep, there's many videos about installing frosted film on Youtube. That's how I learned.
You don't need any tape if these are just solid square pieces. Use a lot of application fluid on both the glass and the film.

Thank you really helpful

A year late to the discussion, but you couldn't just print those white lines? Or even printed a light grey on clear and those white lines as well. I think that would be the easiest. Just one piece, no need for plotting anything.

if you can fit the whole design into a single plot, I'd save the extra time to re-level&apply individual pieces.
just cut as one & apply as a full masked sheet.
