FAQs

How do I remove the vinyl?

Use a hairdryer to heat the vinyl, which softens the adhesive. Gently peel it off the surface. Any remaining residue can be removed with warm, soapy water.

Can I use d-c-fix on textured surfaces?

d-c-fix works best on smooth, flat surfaces. It may not adhere well to textured or uneven surfaces.

Is the vinyl heat resistant?

Yes, it is heat resistant up to 70°C. However, avoid placing hot pans directly on the vinyl and maintain a 12-inch distance from open flames.

What tools do I need for application?

You'll need a clean cloth or a d-c-fix smoother, a measuring tape, a utility knife or scissors, and potentially a hairdryer for curved surfaces.

Can I reposition the vinyl after application?

Yes, thanks to the water-based adhesive, you can reposition the vinyl during the application process. Simply peel it back and reapply.

How do I clean the vinyl?

Wipe the vinyl with a regular household cleaner. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, which could damage the surface.

Where can I buy d-c-fix?

d-c-fix is available at various retailers.

Troubleshooting

Air bubbles appear during application

Lift the vinyl and smooth out the bubbles with a d-c-fix smoother or a soft cloth. Use a pin to release stubborn air bubbles.

Vinyl is not adhering properly

Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Reposition the vinyl carefully, and use the smoother to press firmly, especially around the edges.

Difficulties with curved surfaces

Use a hairdryer to heat and soften the vinyl, making it more pliable. Apply slowly and carefully, stretching it as needed.

Vinyl is peeling off

Ensure the surface is completely clean and degreased. Use the hairdryer to reactivate the adhesive and apply firm pressure.

Residue left after removal

Use a hairdryer to soften the adhesive, and wipe away any remaining residue with warm, soapy water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Preparation: Clean the surface thoroughly. Ensure it is smooth, dry, and free from dust or grease.
  2. Cutting: Measure the surface and cut the vinyl wrap, using the grid on the backing paper as a guide. Overlap the edges slightly (a few mm) to allow for shrinkage.
  3. Application: Peel back a small section of the backing paper and apply the exposed adhesive to the surface. Use a d-c-fix smoother to eliminate air bubbles and ensure a smooth finish. Continue peeling and smoothing as you go.
  4. Curved Surfaces: Use a hairdryer on curved surfaces to make the vinyl more pliable and easier to apply.
  5. Appliances: For appliances, remove handles or lettering first before applying.

Compatibility:

d-c-fix is compatible with most clean, smooth, and flat surfaces, including:

  • Kitchen cabinets and doors
  • Furniture surfaces (tables, drawers, shelves)
  • Appliances (refrigerators, dishwashers)
  • Walls (ensure they are smooth and clean)

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe clean with a regular household cleaner. Avoid scrubbing.
  2. Spills: Wipe up spillages immediately to prevent staining, especially from substances like curry.
  3. Sharp Objects: Avoid cutting or placing sharp objects directly on the vinyl surface to prevent damage.
  4. Heat: Maintain a 12-inch distance from naked flames. Use a worktop saver or trivet for hot items.
