It's just like tinting a curved surface. head up the material so that it is very pliable then from the apply the center and move outwards either using a small squeegie or credit card. if this still doesn't work, try to use some sort of soapy water like you would with decals so you can just move it around as you see fit and makes it easier to squeegie the bubbles out.

Pacience is the key of all. Use some flat object or a foot can (I prefer cans because they are gound and are easy to control).

Where do you buy the thint, I cant like 1 ft for my nubira tale light.
