Dont do the dry method, do the wet method. You have to do it perfect on the dry method, and with the wet method you have room for error cause u can move it.

You can use a hair dryer or heat gun to get some of the stubborn bubbles out but I did the wet method and no bubbles. Just squeegeed kinda hard.
