FAQs

How do I clean the vinyl?

Use a damp cloth and mild household cleaners. Avoid abrasive cleaners and scrubbing.

Can I use this on a surface near a hob?

Yes, it is heat resistant to 75°C. However, keep hot plates and cups at least 12 inches away from naked flames.

How long will the vinyl last?

The lifespan depends on usage and care. With proper care, it can last for several years.

Is it easy to remove?

Yes, it's designed to be easily removed with a hairdryer and warm soapy water.

What if I make a mistake during application?

The low-tack adhesive allows for repositioning. You can also gently lift and reapply the vinyl.

Can I cut the vinyl to fit around a sink?

Yes, you can cut out sink areas and trim excess vinyl. Overlap the vinyl wrap film by a few millimeters.

What kind of application kit do I need?

The DC Fix application kit includes a cutting tool to prevent damage to the vinyl during smoothing.

Can I use this on outdoor furniture?

DC Fix is primarily designed for indoor use. Outdoor exposure may affect its durability and lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Bubbles or creases appear during application.

Carefully lift the vinyl and reapply, using a smoother to eliminate air bubbles. For smaller bubbles, you can try pricking them with a needle and smoothing them out.

Vinyl is not sticking properly.

Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Apply heat with a hairdryer to activate the adhesive. Make sure the vinyl is fully bonded within 24 hours.

Edges are peeling up.

Use a hairdryer to reactivate the adhesive and re-secure the edges. Consider using a small amount of adhesive if needed.

Stains are difficult to remove.

Clean promptly with a household cleaner. Avoid harsh scrubbing and use a non-abrasive cleaner. For stubborn stains, try a specialized vinyl cleaner.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Clean the surface thoroughly, ensuring it's free from dust and grease. A clean surface is crucial for optimal adhesion.
  2. Cutting: Measure and cut the vinyl to the required size, using the grid on the backing paper as a guide. The application kit includes a cutting tool to prevent damage during smoothing.
  3. Application: Peel a small section of the backing paper and apply the vinyl, smoothing out any bubbles with a smoother.
  4. Overlapping: For worktops, overlap the vinyl by a few millimeters to account for shrinkage.
  5. Curved Surfaces: Use a hairdryer to make the vinyl more pliable for curved surfaces.
  6. Sealing: Seal edges around sinks and hobs with silicone sealant for water resistance.

Compatibility: D C Fix vinyl is compatible with various surfaces, including worktops, furniture, and doors. For difficult surfaces like glass or appliances, lightly spraying water can aid maneuverability.

Care: Clean the vinyl with regular household cleaners. Avoid scrubbing and promptly wipe up spillages like curry to prevent staining. Avoid cutting or moving sharp objects directly on the vinyl; use worktop savers.
