How many time for bubbles to go away?

Hi there,

after attending some wrap courses from oracal and avery i won a job for partial wrapping some vans.
After making 5 of them i really like the results but i can´t avoid getting some bubbles. Well, when i was at oracal (orafol in europe) they told bubbles were normal and would go away after some time.
My question is. How many time? And all of them will go? I don´t have wrikles or something like that, so the bubbles are the only thing that separates me from a perfect job. Any tips? I´m using oracal 3951 with 290 laminate

thanks

Practice makes perfect. A clean install will be without bubbles.
Generally speaking, the bubbles should disappear in about a week. However, it depends on the material, the size of the bubbles, air temperature and exposure to sunlight. Normally, the warmer and sunnier it is, the faster the bubbles will disappear.

so they will eventually disapear right?
i know pratice makes perfect. I noticed differences between the first and the last i did. But still getting bubbles. Not big (those I pinch) but lots of small ones.
as they are 60 vans I don´t want the customer coming back for redoing them :doh:

That's a tough one without pics. As stated earlier it could be lots of variables. Just make sure the vehicles are prepped right.
