Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and completely smooth. Remove any dust, grease, or old adhesive.
- Measure and cut the vinyl film using the grid on the reverse for accuracy.
- Peel back a small section of the backing paper.
- Carefully align the film with the edge of the surface and begin to apply, smoothing as you go.
- Use a felt edge smoother to press out any air bubbles towards the edges.
- For curved edges, a hairdryer can gently warm the vinyl to make it more pliable.
- Trim any excess material with a sharp utility cutter.
Compatibility:
The film adheres best to flat, non-porous surfaces. It is suitable for:
- Laminated furniture
- Smooth painted surfaces
- Glass
- Metal
- Clean, flat countertops
It is not recommended for textured, uneven, or freshly painted surfaces. Ensure surfaces around sinks and hobs are sealed to prevent moisture from lifting the edges.
Care:
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary.
- Wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the finish.
- The film is heat resistant up to 70°C; do not place hot pans or dishes directly on the surface.
