Installation Process for Customers:

Here are the quick installation instructions that will work to get a piece hung for now of the mesh window material

1. Clean glass with Windex and dry
2. Spray a mixture of Windex and water about 50/50 over the whole area you are applying it to. Do not worry about getting it too wet
3. Peel the backing off of the back about 3 or 4 inches  and hold the corners to where you want to place it
4. While holding the corners in place (they should stay by themselves for the most part) and peel the rest of the backing off or at least another 3 or 4 inches, and using you hand rub and flatten the mesh window sticker down as you go down. If it wrinkles you can wet it down some more and reposition it by pulling it up and laying it back down. The biggest thing to avoid it to make sure the sticky part of the mesh does not touch each other it will rip pretty easy trying to get it apart.
5. Once you feel you have it where you want it, take a towel and wipe it dry and it will be attached.
6. Once it is dry you can cut any excess off you want with a sharp razor blade if it needs to be trimmed up

Removal Process:

Spray it down and it will peel off. Might peel off in sections.
