Surface Preparation: After the first piece of vinyl is installed, use painter's tape to mark a half-inch overlap [00:47]. Sand the textured surface of the base vinyl with 180 or 220 grit sandpaper to ensure it is smooth [00:54].

Cleaning: Use a lint-free rag with glass cleaner or rubbing alcohol to remove any debris from the sanded area [01:10].

Adhesion Promotion: Apply Primer 94 with a cotton swab to the area where the overlap will occur and let it dry for a few minutes [01:21].

Alignment Strategy: Use small tape "tags" as visual guides for the half-inch mark, which is especially helpful when working at heights or on large walls [01:43].

Squeegee and Heat: Use a specialized architectural film squeegee to press the film down [02:42]. Follow up with post-heating using a heat gun to activate the adhesive and soften the vinyl for a permanent bond [03:02].
