The water-based, low-tack adhesive allows the vinyl to be repositioned during application, making it easy to apply to clean, smooth flat surfaces.

The film is heat resistant to 70°C, making it suitable for hot cups and plates but not hot pans. Always keep at least 12 inches away from naked flames and use a worktop saver for cutting. Wipe clean with a regular household cleaner and wipe up spillages that may stain straight away.
