I've done a number of large stickers. I always just use common "off the
shelf" Windex. Spray down both the surface and the graphic. With it laying
on a flat surface, spray it AS you peal the backing off. This way, if the
wind or something catches it (not advisable to do outdoors) and it flips
around and sticks to it's self, you can easily peal it back a part. Make
sure the surface you're applying it to is VERY clean. A small spec will
make a big bump under the sticker. Clean it good and feel the whole area
lightly looking for tiny specks of trash. Then spray it down good and wet
(can't get too much), and slap the sticker on there. At this point, it's
real easy to scoot it around to the proper position. I prefer a paper towel
or soft cloth instead of a squeegee. Softer and it soaks up the excess
Windex when you come to the edge. Just keep rubbing from the center toward
the edges. BUT ......... don't use too much pressure or you will stretch
the sticker. Then it won't lay flat and you'll have puckers around the
edges. Lots of soft strokes are better than a few firm strokes. ;-)
Be aware that it will still slip for a few hours until the Windex drys out.
After you've given it a day or so, you'll need a heat gun to get it off of
there!
