Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any dust, grease, or loose particles. For best adhesion, lightly sand any rough patches and wipe down.
- Measure and Cut: Measure the area you wish to cover, adding an extra 1-2 cm on each side for trimming. Use the grid lines on the backing paper as a guide for straight cuts.
- Peel and Apply: Gradually peel back a small section of the backing paper (about 5-10 cm) from one corner. Align the exposed adhesive edge with your starting point on the surface.
- Smooth It Out: Slowly peel more of the backing paper while simultaneously smoothing the film onto the surface. Use a squeegee or a soft cloth to press out any air bubbles, working from the center outwards.
- Trim Excess: Once applied, use a sharp craft knife or razor blade to carefully trim any excess film along the edges for a neat finish.
Compatibility
The D-C-Fix Gloss Purple Vinyl Wrap is designed for all smooth surfaces, including:
- Laminated furniture (cupboards, tables, shelves)
- Painted wood (ensure paint is fully cured)
- Plastic
- Metal
- Glass
Avoid highly textured, porous, or rough surfaces as the film may not adhere properly.
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: Simply wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Water Exposure: The film is water-repellent, but prolonged standing water should be wiped away to prevent potential edge lifting over time.
- Heat Exposure: While heat resistant up to 70-75°C, avoid placing extremely hot items directly onto the surface without protection. Do not use near open flames or high-heat appliances.
