Installation
Installing Your GlareStopper Film
Installing your GlareStopper™ film should not be difficult as long as you follow a few simple rules.
First, What Not To Do
Unplug your TV or device and set it in a safe location so it will not tip over or fall.
Gather the squeegee that shipped with your GlareStopper film, or something similar such as an old credit card or ruler. You will also want TV-safe screen cleaner, scissors, Scotch tape, and a helper for larger screens.
Using a TV-safe screen cleaner, clean the entire area that the film will touch. Remove any dust particles you can see. Dust between the GlareStopper film and the screen can create bubbles.
Hold the GlareStopper film up to your screen and make sure it fits. It should lay flat against the glass. A slight gap between the edge of the film and the frame is fine. If the film is tight against the frame, trim it just enough so it does not rub or curl at the edge.
Carefully peel a corner of the backing to reveal the adhesive side of the film. Using scissors or a razor blade, cut the backing off of this section. Be careful not to damage the film.
Position the film in place and let the exposed adhesive section cling to the screen. Use your squeegee to press the exposed film against the glass and remove any bubbles.
Once part of the film is firmly in place, slowly peel away the rest of the backing from the section already applied. As you pull the backing away, use your squeegee to roll the film into place.
Go slow and work out bubbles as you see them. If you miss one, peel the film back far enough to squeegee it out. Remove the outer protective layer after the film is applied.
About Bubbles
Bubbles are easiest to remove while you are applying the film. If you go slowly and stay patient, you should be mostly bubble free once the film is applied.
If you find a bubble you missed, use your squeegee and carefully press the bubble toward the closest edge. Small bubbles are usually not noticeable when the screen is on, and they often dissipate through the film over time.
About Dust Particles
If a bubble will not move when you push it with your squeegee, it is probably a dust particle. Carefully peel the film back to reveal the dust. Take a small piece of Scotch tape and use its sticky side to grab the dust. The tape should pull the dust away because it is much stickier than the film. Then reapply the film as before.
