Steps To Apply Mirror Film To Glass

With these steps, you can easily apply mirror film on glass:

Step 1: The first step is to cut the piece of film that will be coated. It will be easier to handle later if you cut the film slightly larger than the glass.

Cut the film

Step 2: It’s a smart option to clear the dust off your work area before applying the film. Static electricity on the film might gather dust and pull it off the table. It will then adhere to the film, causing permanent lumps beneath.

Clear the dust

Step 3: It’s a good idea to moisten your glass before adding the film. This delays the adhesive on the film from adhering immediately and allows you to push out the creases and bubbles. You can use a special spray for this, or you can simply use water with a little soap in it. Just make sure the water isn’t overly soapy.

Step 4: The adhesive side of the mirror film has a plastic coating that must be removed. Put a piece of tape on each side and pull them apart. You can now apply the film to the glass, adhesive side down.
