use a rubber blade of a sort u could say...be careful slow line it up and make sure its where you want it. i laid vinyl on my buddies laser the other week and if u take your time it will be worth it in the end you should not need to heat it up at all u may have to make some small cuts to make it fit but try to make as few as possibly good luck

by the way avoid power washer's and anything more powerful then a garden hose with no attachment for alteast a week

yeah, if you heat it, it'll form to the shape/shrink so you can make it smooth over rounded edges, be careful not to heat too much though!
