For best adhesion and a smooth finish, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or loose paint. Use a sharp utility knife for precise cuts and a smoothing tool (squeegee or credit card) to press out air bubbles as you apply the film. Work slowly from the center outwards or from one edge to the other to minimize trapped air. The backing paper features a grid, which is incredibly helpful for cutting straight lines and accurate measurements.
Prepare the Surface: Ensure the application surface is perfectly clean, dry, smooth, and free of any dust, grease, or texture. Rough or porous surfaces may require priming first.
Measure and Cut: Measure the area you wish to cover, adding a small overlap (about 1-2 cm) on all sides for trimming. Use the grid on the backing paper as a guide for straight cuts with a sharp utility knife or scissors.
Peel and Apply: Carefully peel back a small section of the backing paper (about 5-10 cm) from one edge. Position the exposed adhesive edge onto your surface.
Smooth: Slowly peel away more of the backing paper with one hand, while simultaneously smoothing the film onto the surface with a squeegee or soft cloth in your other hand. Work from the center outwards or from one side to the other to push out air bubbles.
Trim Excess: Once applied, use a sharp utility knife to carefully trim any excess film along edges or corners for a clean finish.
This film is compatible with most smooth, non-porous surfaces, including:
Laminate
Painted wood (ensure paint is fully cured and smooth)
Melamine
Glass
Metal
Smooth, painted walls (not recommended for heavily textured or freshly painted walls)
To keep your D-C-Fix Self Adhesive Film looking its best:
Cleaning: Wipe down the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the film.
Spills: Wipe up spills promptly to prevent staining.
Heat: While hardwearing, avoid placing extremely hot items directly on the film. Use trivets for hot pots and pans.
