Yes, if the backsplash surface is smooth, clean, and non-porous. It's ideal for a quick update, but ensure it's not exposed to excessive direct heat or moisture.
The glitter is embedded within the vinyl. It is reasonably durable for everyday use but can be scratched by sharp objects or abrasive materials.
It can be repositioned shortly after application if done carefully, but once smoothed down firmly, it becomes more difficult to move without damaging the surface or the vinyl.
While the vinyl itself is somewhat water-resistant, prolonged exposure to high humidity or direct water contact might affect its adhesion over time, especially at the edges.
Gently warm the vinyl with a hairdryer on a low setting to soften the adhesive. Carefully peel from a corner, pulling slowly and steadily. Any remaining residue can be cleaned with a mild adhesive remover.
The product dimensions are 45cm in width and 1.5m in length.
Gently lift the vinyl back to the point of the bubble or crease and re-apply, smoothing with a squeegee or credit card. For small bubbles, a pinhole can sometimes release trapped air.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and completely smooth. Re-clean the surface and re-apply the vinyl. Ensure all backing paper has been removed.
Use a sharp craft knife or a precision cutting tool on a cutting mat for clean, straight lines.
Gently rub the residue with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher residue, a specialized adhesive remover designed for vinyl or delicate surfaces may be needed, tested in an inconspicuous area first.
Setup: Ensure the target surface is completely clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any dust, grease, or old adhesive. Cut the vinyl to the desired size, allowing a slight overlap if necessary. Peel back a small portion of the backing paper. Carefully position the vinyl and begin to smooth it down from the center outwards, gradually peeling away the backing paper and using a squeegee or credit card to eliminate air bubbles.
Compatibility: This vinyl is suitable for application on most smooth, non-porous surfaces such as laminate, metal, painted wood, glass, and plastic. It is not recommended for use on rough, textured, unpainted, or damp surfaces.
Care: Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the glitter finish and the vinyl material. For stubborn marks, a non-abrasive household cleaner can be used sparingly.
