It breaks the initial surface tension of the vinyl's adhesive — letting you slide the piece into exact alignment before committing — then squeeges out cleanly so the vinyl bonds flat with no bubbles or trapped fluid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's especially valuable on larger pieces (hood overlays, door overlays, full-panel prints) where you need time to adjust position before the vinyl locks down.
