though for me, you'd have to change it to 10 inches, and you'd have to change inches to millimeters, and you'd have to change 10 to 5 and you'd have to change dick to poor excuse for one.

yep...water is the key. keep the area wet, as you place the vinyl, than squeegee it. Just like putting tint on the windows.

...or dont be a pussy, and do it dry

put a masking tape hinge at the top of it, with a completely clean and dry surface. slowly apply the graphic, from the top to bottom, in a side to side sweeping motion, using a squeege, or a license/credit card.
