    Just by how these things are applied, I think they will only be bubble free if you put them on slowly, while using something firm to press down and push the air out (kind of like ironing it to your screen).

    Yeah, I have the impression that you have to be a little bit of an artist ...

    It's ill advised IMO. You aren't going to scratch your LCD at anytime. But if you put this one its better to do it when the machine is new out of the box. For a large screen you are bound to have a bubble with dust underneath. If you don't then using a credit card is the best method to install and squeeze out the air pockets. But you might also damage the screen. If you dont beleive me press your screen hard with you finger and see what happens to the pixels. Not a smart move IMO.
