When it comes to applying a skin to your device, there are two main types of application: dry and wet. While dry application is straightforward and can be done quickly, wet application can offer some additional benefits, including improved adhesion and the ability to reposition the skin during the application process.
Here are the steps to apply a dry application skin:
-
1. Clean your device thoroughly: Before applying your skin, be sure to clean your device thoroughly. Use a microfiber cloth and a gentle cleaning solution to remove any dirt, dust, or oils from the surface.
-
2. Line up the skin: Once your device is clean, line up your skin with the appropriate cutouts for buttons, ports, and other features. Make sure the skin is centered and level, and that it lines up with any logos or other design elements on your device.
-
3. Apply the skin: Once you have lined up the skin properly, carefully apply it to your device, smoothing out any bubbles or wrinkles as you go. Use a credit card or similar tool to press out any bubbles and ensure that the skin is securely attached.
-
4. Apply heat (optional): If your device has any non-flat surfaces, you may want to use a hair dryer or heat gun to apply heat to the skin. This can help to make the material more flexible and activate the adhesive, ensuring a strong and long-lasting bond.
- 5. Make sure to watch the install videos.
Here are the steps to apply a wet application skin:
- 1. Install your skins before going to bed.
- 2. Install skins in your bathroom after a steamy shower. This will eliminate all of the dirt and debris floating around in the air and allow for a clean installation.
-
3. Clean your device thoroughly: Before applying your skin, clean your device thoroughly using a microfiber cloth and a gentle cleaning solution.
-
4. Use enough spray solution: Make sure to spray your hands and the skin with enough water or solution to make it easy to slide the skin into place.
-
5. Line up the skin: Once your device is clean, line up the skin with the appropriate cutouts for buttons, ports, and other features. Make sure the skin is centered and level, and that it lines up with any logos or other design elements on your device.
-
6. Apply the skin: Once you have lined up the skin properly, carefully apply it to your device, smoothing out any bubbles or wrinkles as you go. Use a credit card or similar tool to press out any bubbles and ensure that the skin is securely attached.
-
7. Dry the skin: Using a hair dryer on a low heat setting can help to speed up the drying process and ensure that the skin is properly adhered. Be gentle when handling your device during the application process, as the skin may not be fully adhered yet. We recommend 6-8 hours to wait.
- 8. Make sure to watch the install videos.
By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your skin is applied properly and securely. Whether you are looking for protection or style, a skin can be a great choice for keeping your electronic devices in top condition.
