StickerFab Application Fluid (50ml)

Purpose-formulated vinyl application fluid — better than soapy water for alignment and installation Breaks initial surface tension so you can slide and position vinyl before it sets Works across a slightly wider temperature range than DIY soapy water mixtures Non-flammable, 50ml bottle — enough for multiple installs Used and recommended in StickerFab's own installation videos Stop Fighting Your Install — StickerFab Application Fluid Makes It Easy Soapy water works in a pinch, but StickerFab Application Fluid is a purpose-formulated solution that gives you more working time, better slide, and a cleaner result. It breaks the initial surface tension of the vinyl's adhesive — letting you slide the piece into exact alignment before committing — then squeeges out cleanly so the vinyl bonds flat with no bubbles or trapped fluid. It's especially valuable on larger pieces (hood overlays, door overlays, full-panel prints) where you need time to adjust position before the vinyl locks down. Non-flammable, 50ml bottle. How to Use Shake before use Clean the install surface — wipe with application fluid or a wax-free detailing spray, then dry with a microfiber cloth Spray the back of the vinyl, then align and position the overlay Squeegee from center outward to push fluid out from under the vinyl Allow to dry — a light pass with a heat gun can accelerate initial bonding If using transfer tape: wait 2-3 minutes after squeegeeing before peeling back the tape Work in the shade on warm, sunny days. Avoid wax-contaminated surfaces — always clean first. FAQ Why use this instead of soapy water? Application fluid is formulated specifically for vinyl installation — it gives you better working time, a wider effective temperature range, and cleaner fluid expulsion than DIY soapy water. The difference is most noticeable on larger pieces where alignment is critical. How much does 50ml cover? 50ml is enough for multiple installs — a typical hood overlay uses a fraction of the bottle. It's economical and lasts through many projects. Is it safe on painted surfaces? Yes — it's non-flammable and safe on factory paint, clear coat, and factory trim. Wipe dry after the vinyl is in place. Can I use it with transfer tape? Yes — just wait 2-3 minutes after squeegeeing before peeling the transfer tape to ensure the vinyl is dry enough to stay bonded.
