Troubleshooting

Air bubbles appear after application

Lift the film and reapply, smoothing out the bubbles with a smoothing tool or a soft cloth. Use a pin to pop stubborn bubbles.

Film doesn't stick properly

Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Use a primer for extra adhesion on certain surfaces. Make sure the room temperature is ideal for adhesion.

Edges peeling up

Trim the edges and ensure a good seal. Use a hairdryer to gently heat the edges and reactivate the adhesive.
