sorry, should have been more specific, cut out images on the vinyl, so there is lips of vinyl all over the glass.

I would say trad,  then detail with a scrim any bits that might cause drips

Seconded, or should that be thirded?

I'd expected the vinyl to damage the edge of the squeegee rubber, but it doesn't seem to have any ill effect.

You'll find that there's a film of water left all the way around the edge of the vinyl. just wipe it off with a scrim straight away.
