Application Guide

Step-by-step process for applying skins

Thanks for choosing us here at Anime Town Creations! Follow these detailed instructions to achieve a flawless, professional-looking finish when applying your anime-inspired skin to your device. A bit of care in each step will help your device look as sleek and stylish as possible.


Step 1: Prepare Your Device Thoroughly

Begin by thoroughly cleaning the surface of your device. Dust, dirt, and even small particles can prevent the vinyl from adhering properly, so take time to wipe down the entire area carefully. Use a lint-free cloth or microfiber towel dampened with a bit of rubbing alcohol, ensuring the device surface is free of residue. This preparation step is key to a smooth, long-lasting application, so don’t rush it.


Step 2: Peel the Vinyl Carefully

With clean hands, begin to peel the vinyl skin from its backing. Start at one corner and work your way across each panel. For complex designs with intricate sections, take extra care when peeling to avoid stretching or damaging thinner parts of the vinyl. For areas with buttons, holes, or smaller cut-outs, consider removing these sections first (also known as "weeding") before beginning your alignment.

Pro Tip: Patience here is essential—handling the vinyl slowly and gently will preserve its shape and ensure a better result.


Step 3: Align with Precision

With the vinyl peeled and prepped, move on to alignment. Position the vinyl skin along the edges of your device, ensuring that each side is carefully matched to the device’s contours. Avoid pressing down too firmly at this stage; light contact allows for adjustments if needed. If you’re not satisfied with the alignment, lift the vinyl gently and re-align as necessary until everything lines up perfectly.

Pro Tip: Start by aligning the side that contains the most cut-outs or detailing, as this will serve as a solid reference point for positioning the rest of the skin.


Step 4: Apply and Adhere Carefully

Once you're satisfied with the alignment, it’s time to make it stick! Begin by applying gentle pressure at the center of each panel, gradually working your way out to the edges. This technique helps to prevent air bubbles and creates a smooth, professional finish. For devices with curved surfaces, you’ll achieve the best results by slightly warming the vinyl with a hairdryer—this softens the material, allowing it to mold seamlessly to the shape of your device. Apply even pressure as you go, and smooth out any wrinkles or creases as you encounter them. Taking your time on this step will ensure a flawless finish and a long-lasting bond.
