Sticker's best friend

So yeah, it's a bit difficult to work with at first, but after a few snips you'll have your own system for perfect coverage. Cut enough to cover the sticker sheet and starting at one end, SLOWLY unroll the clear sheet over the sticker side, moving your hand(s) back and forth and continuing to unfold to ensure there are no air bubbles or creases available. When you cut this sheet it will curl up, so be patient and you'll encounter a few setbacks along the way. Once a wrinkle appears, there is no way to correct or fix it. Every time you want to laminate your sheet of stickers you have one chance, so you have to hit the mark. In most cases, air bubbles can be corrected by laying down a sheet, but once it's completely covered, these problems become much more difficult to iron out. The whole process takes about 2 minutes. Once it's completely covered, just toss it in the slicer (I used Cameo 4) and trim (don't forget to increase the cutting power/blade). Mine is set to Blade: 6, Force 33, Speed 7. I haven't kissed yet because I only work with blows. After embossing the stickers, you'll see gloss, durability, and ultra-water resistance. For the test I put the standard gloss and matte "waterproof" stickers on the glass and next to them the same stickers covered with this VVivid laminate. Threw it in the washing machine. Result: The standard gloss decals were liquid, while the matte color washed out completely, leaving a faint reminder of what was once art. The stickers processed by VVivid were 100% perfect. Now I can sell them without paranoia.
