4-1 Practicing Cutting Using the Test-use Material
Step 8: Apply the Cut Material
To apply the material you have cut, you use the included application tape. Cut it to the required size for use. Before
applying, thoroughly clean the surface where you want to affix the material to remove any dust or grease.
Procedure
➊
Use tweezers to peel off any excess material,
leaving only the text.
➋
Cut the application tape to the required size.
Cover the cut material flush with the applica-
tion tape to prevent any air from getting under-
neath, then transfer the material.
You can transfer the material easily by using a com-
mercially available squeegee or the flat part of a ruler
or the like to rub the cut material from above the ap-
plication tape.
➌
Affix the material together with the joined ap-
plication tape to the target object, then press
down on it from above.
➍
Make sure the material is affixed to the object,
then slowly peel off the application tape.
If air becomes trapped between the material and the
application surface, forming an air bubble, then use a
needle to pop the bubble and press out the air to form
a complete seal.
➎
Applying the cut material ends.
Material After Cutting
Transfer the cut material to the application tape and affix it to the object as soon as possible. Any dust that builds
up on the surface of the material can make it difficult for the application tape to stick.
