Make sure the plastics are clean and free of any little bits' i've always used a medium heat hair dryer with no prob's some people use soapy water, never done that maybe someone else here has,

I use a hairdryer too;never tried the soapy water method.

. as said ..the plastics need to be clean...use a contact cleaner if necessary to remove any previous gunk


...stick the plastics in the airing cupboard overnight.... mix a 90:10 water/washing up liquid mix

...you will now require a credit card...hairdryer..kitchen roll


..apply solution to a plastic...(start with front panel...leave exhaust panel to last..thats the hardest)


peel and slide graphic into place...work out solution with credit card ... wipe off with paper....apply medium heat until fully adhered and dry

Crikey...a useful post

As Rowley said dry is best...i've tried wet soapy water and a hairdryer and its sends the graphic all sorts of shapes. Each graphic cut a 2cm wide strip off all the way through the centre of the backing and stick this bit to the plastic to line it up. Once its lined up start taking the rest of the backing off and try to 'roll' the graphic over any bends in the plastic.
