Extended Product Information
FAQs
How do I remove the vinyl film if I want to change it?
Gently heat the vinyl with a hairdryer on a medium setting. This will soften the adhesive, allowing you to peel the film off slowly and carefully. Any residual adhesive can typically be removed with a mild adhesive remover.
Can I use this on a textured surface?
This vinyl film is designed for flat, smooth surfaces. While it might adhere to very lightly textured surfaces, the texture will show through, and adhesion may be compromised over time. It is not recommended for heavily textured or uneven surfaces.
Is the Light Beige Cream colour consistent across different rolls?
D-C-Fix aims for consistent colour batches. However, for large projects, it's always best to purchase all the necessary rolls from the same batch or supplier to ensure the closest possible colour match.
What is the weight of the product?
The product weighs 1.6 kg, referring to the total weight of the roll as specified in the product information.
What are the dimensions of the vinyl film roll?
The dimensions of the vinyl film roll are Height: 1500 cm, Width: 45 cm, and Depth: 0 cm.
What is the warranty period for this product?
The D-C-Fix Self Adhesive Vinyl Film comes with a 1-year guarantee.
Can I place hot items on a surface covered with this vinyl?
No, the vinyl is heat resistant up to 70ºC (158ºF) and is not suitable for hot pans or surfaces that will be in direct contact with high heat.
Troubleshooting
Air bubbles or wrinkles appear during application.
Slowly peel back the section of vinyl causing the issue. Use a felt edge smoother or a credit card to gently push the air out towards the edges. For stubborn bubbles, you can prick them with a fine needle and then smooth them out.
Vinyl is not sticking well.
Ensure the surface is perfectly clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Reheat the vinyl slightly with a hairdryer if it's too cold, as temperature can affect adhesion. Check that the surface is suitable (smooth and non-porous).
Difficulty cutting the vinyl cleanly.
Use a sharp utility knife or craft blade. A cutting mat underneath can help protect surfaces and provide a stable base. Ensure the blade is fresh for clean cuts.
Vinyl is too stiff to apply on curves.
Gently warm the vinyl with a hairdryer on a medium setting. This will make it more pliable and easier to stretch and conform to curved edges. Be careful not to overheat.
