Bubbles trouble
Prepare some soapy water! This has got to be the ultimate tip to
achieve a good paste. Dish washing liquid, shampoo, body foam, or what
have you, they all can be used. Mix it with water in some container and
you are good to go.
Wipe clean your fish tank's glass with a wet cloth. Then peel off the
backing paper of the Oyama sticker, and spray the soapy water onto both
the sticker and the fish tank's surface.
With great patience, stick the Oyama onto the surface as gently as you
could. For long fish tanks, it is good to have someone to hold on to
one end of the sticker. Remember, it is alright to have some bubbles.

For the removal of bubbles, we'll need an old credit card or phone card
to scrap them out to the sides. Before you start scraping, take a look
at the picture below.
You need to scrap in a manner that if in the picture, you'll be
scraping from right to left. This is to prevent tearing of the Oyama
sticker if there are particles trapped beneath it. The bubbles itself
might also cause tearing if you scrap the wrong way.
Once you finished scraping and has a nice smooth surface, you can start
cutting out excess Oyama at the edges of your fish tank with a
pen-knife. And you are done!
