Mounting VisionFoil
The VisionFoil is equipped with its own adhesive, protected by a clear plastic cover.
We strongly recommend that clients rely on a qualified window tint specialist for all permanent installations.
If an acrylic substrate is selected rather than glass, ensure that your choice of acrylic will not emit a gaseous discharge that will form bubbles under the VisionFoil.
· Your installation requires; a spray bottle filled with water and a few drops of neutral detergent, a rubber spatula or squeegee, a lint-free cloth, and adhesive tape.
· Mark the target position of the VisionFoil with adhesive tape placed at the four alignment points on a clean substrate. Make sure the substrate has been thoroughly cleaned and that any cleaning agents have been wiped away with water.
· Spray the top horizontal edge of your target area with the water solution. Peel back the adhesive layer from the corresponding area of the VisionFoil and spray both sides.
· Start working the spatula to move water out from under the film and at the same time, begin exposing more of the adhesive layer while keeping both sides sprayed down.
· Continue this process until the layer protecting the adhesive is removed.
· Wipe away any excess water on the substrate and confirm that the VisionFoil is aligned with the original tape markers.
· At this critical stage, begin working away any water trapped between the substrate and the VisionFoil using the plastic-spatula. Start from the center and work outwards, always spraying the exposed surface in order to reduce friction.
· If you have done a professional job at this point, you will have eliminated most or all of the water under the VisionFoil.
· As the adhesive quickly dries, it will pull the VisionFoil tighter against the substrate and this in turn will isolate small pools of water that will appear as bubbles.
· Continue to check on the VisionFoil for the next hour, and if any bubbles form, spray down the exposed surface and work the bubbles out to the edge. Check in a couple more times over the next few hours.
· The adhesive will be completely dry within the next 48 hours.
