1 drip of washing up liquid to 500ml of water, used a spray bottle, a sponge, and a rubber squidgey,
make sure the surface is clean, smooth, and grease free,
spray the surface, and lay sticker on top of surface, and then working from the middle with the sponge push bubbles and water out, and then use the squidgey to finish off,
brooky or brooksy will be best to comment on this tbh.

What Ricky wrote is right - My grandad is a signwriter who uses vinyl and does it that way
