Wet or Dry Method for Applying Vinyl Lettering?

A common question we are asked is which is the best method for applying vinyl lettering?  There are two basic methods that you can use.  The first is the wet method, the second is the dry method.  Now you will find that there are variations of the dry method however they are similar.  To get a full understanding of how each method works visit our online application instructions.

Wet Method 

The wet method is all around a more forgiving method of installing vinyl on any surface.  This can be used on a vehicle, window, or boat.  The wet method creates a liquid barrier preventing the adhesive from bonding to the surface this allows you to slide the vinyl around before final positioning.  Bubbles are easy to work out from under the vinyl since they are able to escape.  The wet method can be difficult to use when you have a sharp contoured surface rather than flat.  This is because the adhesive cannot bond so the vinyl will not stick properly around the surface.  This is where high end wrap vinyl is more appropriate. 

Dry Method

The dry method is the most commonly used method but is less forgiving.  Once you start to make an application with the dry method you usually can’t go back.  Since the vinyl is in direct contact with the surface the adhesive will grab immediately.  Advantages of the dry method include the ability to instantly apply your letters while the wet requires a cure time.  The dry method works great on flat surfaces too.
