search on youtube. there is a very easy method that involves spraying mildly soapy water onto the glass first. This allows you to move the tape around until you get the lined up perfectly. Then you squeegee as much water as you can out from beneath the tape and then let it dry. It works great for me.

I agree with Jbernardis, but be careful not to wet the electronics on your heatbed. Check out this guide: [3dprinterczar.com]

Absolutely true. It's best to remove your glass and do the tape application somewhere else. I do sometimes put the glass back on the printer and turn on the bed just to speed up the drying process.
