Cold weather and applying vinyl don’t mix

We just wanted to remind everyone that spring isn’t quite here yet and when you get your vinyl order that goes on a window or outdoor surface you really shouldn’t install it if that surface is below 60 degrees.  Great examples of this are applying vinyl to a window in the northern part of the US.  You will find that the adhesive never properly binds to the surface in these conditions.  The result will be your lettering could come off prematurely. 

It may be tempting to take a heat gun to glass during the winter time to remove lettering or heat up the surface for application.  **CAUTION** DON’T, just like taking a warm glass and filling it with cold water will cause it to crack the same thing happens with a window!  Odds are you will crack it and make for a bad day.  Our advice, wait for a nice sunny day, even though the outside temperature may be low the surface temperature of the glass will likely be much higher than the ambient temperature, if this is the case you can probably apply your lettering without worry.
