Application :
1) Use a dc fix application kit to apply, it won’t damage the vinyl when smoothing out and includes a handy cutting tool
2) Overlap the vinyl wrap film a few mm to allow for shrinkage when joining on a worktop for example
3) The vinyl can be applied around sinks, cut out the sink area and trim any excess
4) The vinyl has a handy grid on the backing paper, to use as a cutting guide
5) The vinyl can be difficult to manoeuvre on surfaces like glass and appliances, lightly spray water first
6) Shaker style doors can be covered, cut each section separately and overlap the vinyl joins by a few mm
7) Use a hairdryer on curved surfaces, it warms the vinyl wrap film making it more pliable for tricky edges
Aftercare :
1) To ensure your surface is water tight, use silicone sealant around sinks and hobs for example
2) Wipe clean using regular household cleaner, do not scrub the vinyl and wipe spillages that may stain immediately e.g. curry
3) Do not cut or move sharp objects around on the vinyl, it will damage it – always use worktop savers to protect the vinyl
4) Heat resistant to 75C, so hot plates and cups are fine, but not hot pans, keep 12 inches away from naked flames
