Yes I can certainly appreciate the request.
The most difficult part for us was keeping it from slipping when we tried to start pealing the back paper off. Here is what we did that seemed to work for us. On the side you are looking at in the photo posted, we started with the mountain in the center then worked our way from there. We mainly worked with one piece at a time. The graphics came in sheets which I wouldn’t recommend trying to handle a piece that is too large. Some of them can be cut between the graphics allowing you to work with smaller pieces. We trimmed around the graphic leaving only about a ¼ “ of paper around the edge. We could see to position it better this way. Once it was positioned one of us carefully held it so it wouldn’t slip and the other person started pealing the paper from the back on one end. We pealed just enough for it to get a good bite on the surface for holding then after pealing the paper we cut the back paper off with scissors. This got the paper out of the way and then with the plastic scrapper that Burlington Graphics supplied we worked it across onto the surface while it stated sticking. While working on the one end the other person was holding the remaining graphics pealing the back off while the first person was working it into place. We went over the entire graphic working it with the plastic scrapper and then we pealed the paper cover off of the front.
Cutting the extra paper from the back of the graphic after we started pealing it seemed to help the most in allowing us to position it without having it slip. You may have a different or even better method but this is how we approached it.
Hope it helps!
