Troubleshooting
Edge protector is difficult to fit
Ensure the material thickness is within the 1.0-2.0mm range. If the edge is slightly too thick, carefully trim a small amount from the opening's edge. If too loose, consider a small amount of adhesive for a permanent fit (ensure compatibility).
Edge protector does not stay in place
Verify that the edge is clean and free from debris. Ensure the protector is fully seated. For long-term security, a thin bead of PVC-compatible adhesive can be applied to the inside of the protector before fitting.
Cutting the protector leaves a rough edge
Use a sharp, high-quality blade for cutting. A sharp utility knife or a pair of strong scissors typically works best. Ensure a clean, straight cut for the best fit.
