If you have a vinyl sticker decal you have placed on a glass window or door, you may need to re-stick it to the surface at some point. Over time, the moisture that helps the vinyl sticker adhere to things dries out, causing the sticker to begin bubbling or peeling. Carefully remove the vinyl sticker, and reapply it to the glass surface using a little cooking oil or baby oil.

Step 5

Spread the oil across the surface of the window, in the spot where you'll reapply the sticker. The oil should coat the glass but not be dripping.

Press the vinyl sticker back onto the surface of the window, making sure to smooth out any bumps or wrinkles.
