FAQs

What surfaces can I apply d-c-fix to?

It is suitable for clean, smooth, and flat surfaces such as worktops, cabinets, furniture, and appliances.

Can I use it on a surface with a slight texture?

For best results, d-c-fix should be applied to smooth and flat surfaces. Textured surfaces may affect adhesion.

How do I remove the vinyl film?

Use a hairdryer to warm the vinyl film and soften the adhesive. Then, gently peel it off. Any remaining residue can be removed with warm, soapy water.

Is d-c-fix heat resistant?

Yes, it is heat resistant up to 75°C, but it is not recommended for direct contact with hot pans or open flames.

Can I use household cleaners to clean the vinyl film?

What if I make a mistake during application?

The water-based low-tack adhesive allows you to reposition the vinyl film. If you make a mistake, simply peel it back and start again.

Do I need any special tools for application?

A smoother tool is recommended for removing air bubbles and ensuring a smooth finish. A sharp blade or utility knife and a worktop saver are needed for cutting.

Is d-c-fix permanent?
