Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I dry apply GF 255?
Yes, however, wet application is the preferred method. Wet application on solvent-based clear products is the best way to achieve bubble-free and optically clear results. Dry application is possible, but may result in some bubbles or reduced optical clarity.

Can I use GF 255 on perforated vinyl since it is optically clear?
No. While GF 255 is optically clear, it is formulated with a removable adhesive and is not designed for conformable applications. GF 255 will not bond well to perforated film and can create blurry air pockets in the perforations that can block the film’s one-way vision.

If I don’t have a soft-edged, Teflon-coated, or wet-edged squeegee, can I use a regular squeegee?
No. We do not recommend this. GF 255 is a clear calendared vinyl and can show squeegee marks. Regular squeegees may have burrs or uneven edges that can make impressions in the vinyl. In some cases, these impressions may be heated out depending on their severity, but heating the film on a cold glass surface is not recommended because cracking may occur. It is best to use a softer edge. A premask tape can also be used to protect the graphic during installation.
