Haven't tried RT2 so can't comment on that ... but always use the other RT stuff to clean/prep. Take all the precautions you can ... Tight wrinkle-free application tape. Tight hinges. Nice new squeegee with NO nicks or scratches. Don't let the vinyl touch the substrate until you put it there (with pressure ... soft put down and hard squeegee'n after = bubbles) The way I accomplish this with larger panels is to roll the backing paper under to hold the vinyl up till I put it down. Look ma no hands (if pic shows ... ha)
good luck is precautions taken
