How to apply self-adhesive contact paper

Applying the adhesive paper is easy, as long as you follow the follow practical advice. To start with, and to ensure coverage of the entire surface, cut the material into a slightly larger format than necessary. Then never apply on damp areas, with infiltration, texture, or imperfections. In case of fresh paint, wait until it is completely cured to apply the decorative sticker.

As with any adhesive application, the surface must be clean and free of all impurities. If necessary clean the surface with rubbing alcohol to remove traces of grease, especially in a kitchen.

Once the surface has been properly cleaned, all you have to do is gently peel the protective film from the adhesive, then position it in the right place. But you better check even multiple times if the location and measurements match before removing the film.

Certain types of adhesive furniture paper, in particular window films, require the spraying of soapy water (a mixture of water and dishwashing liquid is perfectly suitable) both on the sticker and on the surface to be covered, to have good adhesion. And this is more so for window films. Once the adhesive is well Powell-positioned need to remove the water from below using a squeegee, going from the inside to the outside.

For installation on a small surface, such as a drawer, for example, all you have to do is moisten the surface to be glued using a damp sponge.

Summary Instructions for installation

2- Cut the material into a format that is slightly larger than the necessary measure.
3 – Peel off to 5 cm tip of the protective paper and apply the product from the corners of the area to be coated.
4 – With one hand, gradually peel off the protective paper diagonally onto the other hand, and secure the product from the center to the edges using a flannel.
5 – To avoid bubbles, press well when applying.
6 – If the material is bent, carefully peel off the adhesive and restart the application.

How to avoid air bubbles

One of the most common problems with self-adhesive contact paper is that they tend to form air bubbles beneath the sticker. These bubbles don’t look very pleasant.

One of the best ways to prevent air bubbles from forming is to ensure the surfaces are perfectly clean before applying the film. Even a small amount of dirt can interfere with the adhesion and allow bubbles to form. If these have formed below a currently installed vinyl, remove it and thoroughly clean the surface.

Applying a little heat during the installation process can prevent bubbles from forming. Heat can also remove air that has built up beneath the vinyl that has already been installed. The hair dryer works well for this purpose. Simply apply heat to the vinyl as it is placed (or reapplied). This can remove air bubbles and give you better results.

To avoid air bubbles in the first place, press down well when applying with a ruler or spatula. If, after the application is finished, some bubbles appear, make small holes with a needle. And if the paper is bent, carefully peel off the adhesive and restart the application.

Our self-adhesives can be cleaned with mild soap and water. But do not use abrasive products.
