I ran into some trouble on a similar job last week. I had a graphic running across 5 lites with silicone joints. I reverse unrolled it across the first 3 lites but at that point i had to cut it because I was have trouble keeping the adhesive on the glass wet enough and it was starting to stick in certain spots. I got it all lined up and squeegee'd and trimmed out the areas that covered the silicone joints and everything was fine until this point. For the next 2 lites I unrolled the film on the lites that already had film on them after wetting the glass and finished film surface. I peeled the liner off just like you show in the video. The surface where I was installing the film was clean and ready. I wet this surface and the film adhesive just like you showed. When I pulled the film off the surface of the other film and glass, I noticed that a lot of the ink had transferred between the 2 films where they were touching each other. I'm guessing that the ink was not cured enough, but am wondering if you would know for sure if this is the case. The print was on the 3M 8150 ClearView film printed on a Mimaki CJV 30-130 and the cure time was 24 hours. I totally ruined 4 out of 5 pieces and have to go back and redo them.
***** Thank you for that tip. Our printer is brand new and we are just getting into printed graphics. The learning curve is quite steep and any tips are always helpful and appreciated.
I can see that someone has asked an interesting question below, but unfortunately can not see the answer from you. Is it possible to post it again either here or via private message? The question was: "Hello, How do you apply two sheets of 3M IJ 8150 on a single sheet of glass. My glass is 2 mts wide and the film is 1,37. Thank you. Roby"
I'm getting issues with scratching the film upon squeeging (the prints fine, it's where it's completely clear) I'm soaking the film on the surface before squeeging. - any other tips? Their not visible from a couple of feet away, it's when you stand directly under it and look up they become visible)

Great video. It would help if you added links or numbers to the tools used for this application.
Hello! What was you used for cleaning the window? Just clean water, or some kind of cleaning products? Thanks! :)
Hi Cookie, the darker areas of the print on IJ8150 are not transparent, am I right ? We are using a latex print and a double laminate . Thanks
