Jaypee // Installing + painting Day 2

On the second day Andy had returned and we made a plan of exactly where we wanted the remaining characters to go. We were careful to distribute them as best as possible to avoid repetition. Only some of them had been fitted with application tape, so we started with those. The pencil went on really smoothly with two of us working on it. This photo from outside shows that we were able to really eliminate bubbles by applying pressure at the right angle and in one continuous sweep.


The window above the door was perfect for our long ruler character. We found the points of the ruler to be really tricky to apply as there were so many of them. We had to really slow down to avoid mistakes. 



After the application tape had run out we had to find an alternative and bought some tacky back plastic from Wilkinsons which turned out to be too slippery and thin to get even coverage with. We went back to using masking tape and had to be careful to not let creates trap between the tape. 



Applying to the second window. 



I was heading to London in the afternoon , by which point we had completed the two main windows, the door and the small window over it. This left the last window to the left and the smaller ones at the front of the building. I had to leave Andy to finish these by himself in the afternoon.
