DIY PPF Academy Lesson 13 - How to squeegee

When squeegeeing a film applied on a surface using slip solution, it's important to follow these steps:

Ensure the surface is lubricated with slip solution on top.
Pull away using overlapping motions to expel water or air bubbles.
Apply a moderate amount of force while squeegeeing to avoid leaving small bubbles.
Avoid pushing too hard, as if using a wrap; instead, use longer strokes.
When working with areas where there's tack solution involved, the process changes slightly:

Do not mix slip solution into tack solution to prevent silvering lines.
If slip gets into tacked areas, peel back the film, re-lubricate, and reapply.
Always push slip away from tacked areas to prevent issues.
When tacking multiple sides, create a slip channel to remove all bubbles without interfering with the tacked sections.
