Equipment
- Scissors
Materials
- Window Cleaner Some kits come with a solution.
- Lint free cloths
- Window Film
Instructions
- Clean the window thoroughly with cleaner and lint free towels. Also, use a flat scraper to remove any paint splatters or rough edges around the panes.
- For smaller areas or repetitive panes, cut a template out of paper.
- Spray the solution or window cleaner on the pane to attach the film. Some kits include their own solution.
- Press film into place. As long as the solution is still wet, it is very easy to remove bubbles using a plastic scraper to move the bubbles out. If the solution dries, spray a little more or remove the cling and try again. Blot up any dripping solution from the bottom with paper towels.
