Vinyl Numbers
Guess I didn't explain it too well, I believe the air bubbles are caused by lint on the surface. Check for lint with low light angle, then wipe surface with a painters tac-cloth before applying Vinyl.

Should we move on to PW-5s? Cheers, Craig

Wonder if a lint roller would be useful just before vinyl letter application...

I understood, the static can attract all sorts of crud from the air, even small flying insects. A damp wipedown can help kill the static as well as remove any final stuff on the surface.
A tack cloth can pull crud, but may do nothing about the charge.
