The following is an application checklist that is essential for wrapping any vehicle, with any type of wrap media.

1: Know your surface and its limitations (gaskets, rust, channels)

2: Provide a controlled environment and a clean vehicle.

3: Always use a sharp knife for trimming (snap-off or replace blades frequently).

4: Use an air release tool, not a knife, to relieve air bubbles.

5: Heated media applied to cold metal will cool quickly. Apply enough heat to do the job correctly and work in small areas.

6: Use heat to soften the film prior to stretching.

7: Use heat to relax the film after it has been stretched into the channels. This also allows the adhesive to build to a high bond quickly.

8: Seams and edges are common failure points. Be sure that edges are clean and dry. Cut all seams and then heat and re-burnish all edges to insure a good bond.

9: All printed material MUST be given a minimum48hrs at 70°F (21°C) flat exposure to flash off any residual ink solvents before using the clear overlaminate. Failure to do so will trap residual solvents altering the performance of the product increasing the potential for premature film and adhesive degradation.
