1. Remove the print surface and place it on a flat, water-resistant surface. I like to
put a couple of paper towels down first to absorb extra liquid.
2. Use a mixture of 1 drop of baby shampoo to 4 ounces of distilled water.
3. Spray a liberal amount of the water on the print surface. Use a spritzing sprayer
to distribute the water as evenly as you can.
4. Cut a long strip of Kapton tape that is at least 2 inches longer than needed.
5. Spray a small amount of the water on your fingers and carefully grip the tape on
each end.
6. Hold the tape over the print surface and allow it to droop, forming a “U” shape.
7. Slowly and evenly (without pulling), lower your hands so that the tape spreads
out evenly.
8. If the tape isn’t applying evenly, remove it and try again. The water solution will
make the tape much easier to remove. Spray more water if the tape is sticking to
the glass.
9. Using a rubber or similar soft-edge squeegee, start in the center of the tape
and press lightly and outward to one edge to squeeze out the water. Repeat for
the other direction. If there are large bubbles or wrinkles, carefully lift the tape
back to the point where the anomaly begins and reapply by pulling (but not
stretching) to remove the crease.
10. Continue to squeeze out all the water that you can. It is OK if you cannot get all
the bubbles out. Small bubbles (say, about 4mm–5mm in diameter) are fine and
will disappear as the water dries.
