Lift the vinyl and gently smooth it back down, using a smoother tool to push out the air bubbles.

Vinyl isn't sticking properly.

Ensure the surface is completely clean and dry. Use a hairdryer to reactivate the adhesive and reapply.

Edges are lifting.

Apply heat with a hairdryer to the edges and press firmly to re-adhere. Use a sealant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and other contaminants. For glossy surfaces like glass, spray with a little water before application.
  2. Application: Slowly peel away the backing paper, smoothing the vinyl onto the surface from one side to the other. Use a smoother to eliminate air bubbles.
  3. Cutting: Use the grid on the backing paper as a cutting guide. Protect your work surface by using a worktop saver and do not cut directly on the vinyl.
  4. Sealing: Apply sealant around sinks and hobs for added protection.
  5. Cleaning: Wipe clean with a regular household cleaner. Address spillages that may stain immediately.
  6. Compatibility: Suitable for clean, smooth, flat surfaces. The film is heat-resistant up to 70°C, so OK for hot cups and plates but not hot pans.

Care Instructions

  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads.
  • Wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining.
  • Use a sealant around sinks and hobs to prevent moisture damage.
  • For curved surfaces, use a hairdryer to make the vinyl more pliable during application.
