Troubleshooting
Bubbles appear during application.
Lift the film and reapply, smoothing out the bubbles with a smoothing tool or a soft cloth. Use a pin to release any stubborn air pockets, then smooth the area again.
Film does not adhere properly.
Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Check if the application area is compatible with the adhesive and the room temperature is within the recommended range. Try repositioning and smoothing again.
Edges are lifting.
Trim the edges more precisely and ensure they are well adhered. Use a hairdryer to gently heat the edges and press them down for a stronger bond.
