Installation
Before applying an overlaminate, please allow 24-48 hours for solvent ink systems to dry. Application surface should be free of dust, dirt, debris, grease, and other contaminants. It is highly recommended to clean the installation surface with isopropyl alcohol prior to application. Dry installation is recommended. If a wet installation is desired, please test application fluid prior to use in a production environment.
