FAQs
What surfaces can I apply this film to?
This film is best suited for smooth, clean, and dry surfaces such as laminate, sealed wood, metal, and glass. It is not recommended for textured, uneven, or matte surfaces.
How do I clean the D-C-Fix film?
You can clean the film with a soft cloth dampened with water and a mild soap solution. Wipe dry with a clean cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools.
Is the film durable for a kitchen countertop?
Yes, the film is durable for general kitchen use. However, it is heat resistant only up to 70ºC and not suitable for direct contact with hot pans. Sealant is recommended around sinks and hobs.
Can I reposition the film if I make a mistake?
Yes, the film is repositionable during the initial application process. This allows you to lift and adjust it to ensure proper alignment before it adheres permanently.
What are the dimensions of the film roll?
The roll measures 67.5cm in width and 1 meter in length.
Is this product safe to use in a kitchen?
Yes, the product is phthalate-free and made in Germany, indicating adherence to safety standards for home use.
How do I handle corners and edges?
For best results on corners and edges, gently warm the film with a hairdryer on a low-medium setting. This makes it more flexible and easier to stretch and conform to the shape.
Troubleshooting
Air bubbles or wrinkles appear during application.
Gently lift the affected section of the film and reapply, smoothing outwards with a squeegee. For stubborn bubbles, you can try pricking them with a fine needle and smoothing the air out.
Film is not sticking well.
Ensure the surface is perfectly clean, dry, and smooth before application. Check that the backing paper has been fully removed and that the film is not being applied in excessively cold temperatures.
Difficulty applying to corners or edges.
Use a hairdryer on a low-medium heat setting to gently warm the film. This will make it more flexible and easier to stretch and mold around curves. Work slowly and use a squeegee to press it into place.
Scratches or marks on the applied film.
Minor scratches may be difficult to remove. Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. For significant damage, the affected section may need to be carefully peeled off and replaced.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Prepare Surface: Ensure the target surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any grease, dust, or debris.
Measure and Cut: Unroll the film and measure the required area. Use the cutting grid on the reverse side for accurate straight cuts with a craft knife or scissors.
Peel and Apply: Peel back a small section of the backing paper. Carefully align the film with the edge of your surface and begin to apply, smoothing down with a squeegee or credit card as you go.
Smooth Out Bubbles: Work from the center outwards to push out any air bubbles. If a bubble persists, gently lift the film and reapply.
Heat for Curves: For corners or curved edges, use a hairdryer on a low-medium setting to gently warm the film. This makes it more pliable and easier to mold around the shape.
Trim Excess: Trim any excess film carefully with a sharp craft knife.
Compatibility:
Ideal for smooth, non-porous surfaces like laminate, finished wood, glass, and metal.
Not recommended for textured, uneven, or freshly painted surfaces.
Care:
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary.
Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the surface.
Wipe up spills promptly, especially in areas prone to moisture.
