Surface Preparation: Wipe down the glass surface with isopropyl alcohol before application to remove oils, fingerprints, and dust for optimal adhesion.

Hinge Alignment: Position the transfer sheet with painter’s tape on one side to keep your alignment straight before removing the backing film.

Center-Out Squeegee Technique: Firmly squeegee or rub from the center outwards toward the edges using a squeegee tool or felt pad to prevent air bubbles and wrinkling on curved surfaces.

Firm Pressure: Apply solid, uniform pressure over all fine design details—especially small stems and leaves—so the adhesive layer fully bonds with the glass.

Slow, Flat Peel: Peel the carrier film back slowly at a sharp 180° angle close to the glass surface rather than pulling straight outward.

Curing & Care: Allow the adhesive to cure for 24 to 48 hours before initial use, and always hand wash gently instead of placing the glass cup in a dishwasher or soaking it in water.
