What should I use to smooth out air bubbles?

A smoothing tool, a plastic card, or a soft cloth can be used.

Is the film durable?

Troubleshooting

Air bubbles appear after application.

Carefully lift the film and smooth out the bubbles with a smoothing tool or soft cloth, working from the center outwards.

The film is not sticking to the surface.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Increase pressure during application and consider using a primer if necessary.

Edges are lifting.

Reapply the edges, ensuring they are firmly pressed down. Use a hairdryer on a low setting to warm the adhesive and improve adhesion.
