Depending on the size of your install, you may need a few of the following tools:

A. Spray bottle filled with mildly soapy water. Water allows the repositioning of larger decals.
B. A tape measure. This Lufkin has a secondary rule that gives measurements of half the primary rule. Very useful for centering.
C. Plastic squeegee. Used for squeegeeing over transfer tape.
D. Felt squeegee. Used for squeegeeing over the vinyl itself. It is not as stiff as a plastic squeegee, but it won’t scratch vinyl.
E. Utility knife blade. Used for cutting between panels and around trim.
F. X-Acto knife. Same use as the utility blade.
G. Blue painter’s tape. Used for position marks and holding decals while installing.
H. Scissors. Used for cutting backing paper.
