Hi there,

Me and my dad are trying to fix a union jack to the roof of my mini,

So far we have fitted the Centre Cross. and now on to the tricky bit, The Long Rectangles and Triangles.

I have looked on the interent of what people have done, and there are 2 different ways.

Does someone no the correct Gap mesurements For a Union Jack On a Mini

Thanks
Ross

i used a plastic spray bottle and a few drops of washing up liquid in the water lightly spray all the roof lay on the tranfer with the water you can move it in to position then with a rubber squeezee gently push all the air bubbules towards the outer edge as to the gap mesurments ??? good luck

just a few pennies worth.

The vinyl we use in our business can react quite badly to washing up liquid (or at least some brands) as it reacts with the adhesive. We have found for our signwriting that the best mix is a capfull of concentrated screenwash to about 2 litres of water, then decant it into a spray bottle with a fine mister nozzle. An ebay search for 3m applicator squeege should bring up a few results for a little blue one which again we find very adequate and doesnt scratch the vinyl.

Not sure on the gap measurements myself though.
