You can also use another long 1x flat piece from the set or your own for better applications, as apposed to doing it by hand, you place lets say half the sticker on the long piece, you and it takes less effort to place it on close to perfectly, sorry if I explained it bad

Finally a video showing the trick in action! I’m building my first Friends set ever (Andrea’s Modern Mansion) and page 13 has the first sticker on the car you build at the start of the set. Your video cracks me up because I’m OCD too. I’m gonna try this method! Thank you! 🙏 Subscribed!!

Glad you enjoyed it! I’ve updated my method since making this video and it works so much better. I bought a bunch of small 15ml squeeze bottles on amazon and filled that with windex. Now I gently squeeze it and “paint” the windex on the brick. Highly recommended. Best of luck on your Mansion!

@@mcohn16 Whoa! That’s a great method I will also try! Thanks again!

You sound just like solid brix studios

Gonna have to try this probably. It’s too bad I have so many old sets that are driving me nuts.

I Actually have this set and when I came to tht step, I used the brick separator and it worked great

I use soapy water, but I've always wondered if the windex method would work better. I'm afraid to try it though, since what I've been doing works. I try to apply the stickers to the pieces before they're attached to the build. I use a qtip to apply a generous amount of soapy water to the piece surface, then I pick up the sticker with a brick separator and dip the whole sticker in the soapy water too. I find I get a lot of control to adjust the sticker this way, but for curved pieces it can be awkward and you may have to hold down the sticker for a bit til it starts sticking.

Does it matter if you use a lot more Windex than you did? I would think it would help be able to move with your finger a bit easier?

On a flat piece more windex would absolutely make it slide easier, and I have done that many times. In the video I just happened to show a curved piece and that would actually work against you. Too much windex would stop it from sticking around the curve and would probably slide around on you. Play with the amount and see what works for you!

would it work with the clear-backed stickers without taking away much from looks?

Yes! Clear stickers look perfect. No blue tint at all. The only thing to be careful of is to make sure there is plenty of windex to have the sticker move freely. Too little and the sticker glue will smudge/smear. You’re never see that on a normal sticker, but you might on a transparent one. Good luck!

Does this work with transparent pieces?
