I am doing some retail shows soon and need to supply directions for the marks to apply their own. There used to be instructions with some of the vinyl but I haven't seen that recently. Can anyone help me out?

Sometimes it helps to have them suitably clear, but suitably complicated, so that they read them, get shy, and say "Oh, I think we'll just pay you to do it instead..."

Thanks to all. I should have given more information. I am working a county fair with a trailer. I have made various items to be applied to bug deflectors, rear windows, etc. At $10-15 per item, we cannot spend a lot of time. I think Si has the right idea. But thanks to all for the info. Roger I have not seen the videos but will do so today.

Hiya Jerry, You're probably best off photocopying the application instructions normally included with Gerber vinyl. They're black and white, double sided, and direct and to the point. I'm sorry to say that I don't have a copy laying around. Havin' fun,

Hey, heres a new concept O.P.; The OTHER GUY sells R.T.A. vinyl in the same market as you.
You tell THE CUSTOMER (no customer will ever be exclusive) "you screw it up, I'll sell you another one" 5/50 waranty!
The OTHER GUY tells them a few tips or hands them a instruction sheet (with illistrations) charges the same, uses the same materials.
Now this is important O.P.; when they do screw up the vinyl from you and want more, they just may feel you were not "service oriented" enough (or just plain helpfull.) So... they look around and find THE OTHER GUY, but this time they are looking at a much larger scale sign that has to be done by a professional and costs $12,000.00
Important to treat ALL customers SMALL AND LARGE like YOU wish to be treated, ya never know !!
