Don't worry, if you make a mistake the worse that can happen is you will destroy the eyelids and you will need to remove them and try again.
Here's rough installation instructions for now: (I'm working on pictorial ones for the future)
-Clean the surface thoroughly. The cleaner the surface, the better the finish will be.
-Spray the surface with application fluid liberally (a couple drops of dishsoap in a spray bottle of water will work fine).
-Carefully hold the vinyl at one of it’s edges and pull the waxpaper off gently. Spray the adhesive side of the graphic with application fluid. This way, if the vinyl touches itself, you should be able to pull it apart as long as it remains wet.
-Lay the vinyl on the surface you wet earlier and slide into desired position.
-Working from the center out to the edges, use a squeegee to gently press out bubbles and wrinkles so the vinyl lays flat. Make sure the vinyl does not move while working out the fluid. If it has, just reposition. This will get harder to do the longer it sits and the dryer the adhesive gets.
-The adhesive will start to activate more and the vinyl will begin to stick permanently. You may want to use a hairdryer or heatgun to speed this process up (but it’s unnecessary in most conditions).
-After it has set and began to adhere, you can use an X-acto knife or razor blade to trim any edges that did not align perfectly or pop any remaining bubbles you may have.
As it is now November, I should also mention that the warmer you keep the vinyl and surface, the easier it is to work with (in other words, do not attempt to apply them in freezing weather; They will not stick or set up properly).
Hope that helps.
