FAQs

How do I clean the d-c-fix Artisan Oak Vinyl Film?

Wipe the surface with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the film.

Can I use this film on a curved surface?

While the film is somewhat flexible, it's best suited for flat surfaces. Applying it to curves can be challenging and may result in wrinkles or bubbles.

Is the adhesive permanent?

No, the adhesive is removable, making it suitable for renters. However, removal may be more difficult the longer the film is applied.

How heat resistant is the film?

The film is heat resistant up to 70°C. Always use hot pan mats on worktops and protect from direct heat sources.

What happens if I make a mistake during application?

The film is repositionable, so you can peel it back and reapply it. This allows you to correct any mistakes before the adhesive fully sets.

How many films come in a set?

A set includes five films, each measuring 67.5cm x 2m.

Can the film be used outdoors?

This film is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor elements may damage the film.

Troubleshooting

Air bubbles under the film

Carefully lift the film and smooth out the bubbles with a squeegee or a soft cloth. Use a pin to prick stubborn bubbles and smooth them out.

Film not sticking properly

Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Check for any contaminants. You may need to use a primer or adhesive promoter for certain surfaces. Ensure you are applying enough pressure when smoothing the film.

Edges peeling up

Ensure edges are properly adhered. Use a hairdryer on a low setting to warm the edges and press them down firmly. Apply silicone sealant to seal edges in areas exposed to water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
