Be sure to watch just after minute 7...we pull the wrap THROUGH the hole (vs cutting around the hole) to ensure the wrap stays down and doesn't start to come up over time.
TO PREVENT WRAPS FROM PEELING UP, IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND USE THESE SPECIFIC PRODUCTS.
- Do not apply wraps to raw wood- Boards should either be primered, painted or clear coated.
- Only use recommended paints and primers – Some paints have a surfactant on the surface which makes them easy to clean but very difficult to adhere to. See below for 3M’s recommended primers and paints that have been tested with success for best adhesion.
-The edges of your wraps are vital. Therefore, wherever you are sticking the edges of the wraps, that needs to be prepped as well. For instance, if you wrap the edges over the sides of the board, the sides need to also be properly prepped.
-Use heat – After application, take a heat gun and lightly dab the edges of the wrap all the way around to help it mold to the boards.
-Poly does not act like a glue and has no effect in keeping the wrap down. Good adhesion will depend on how you prep the boards.
-If your wraps do come up, you can use Spray 77 or Spray 90 to help seal them back down.
Other Tips
- The wraps come with an excess white border to protect the design during shipping. This should be trimmed off before the wraps are applied.
- We offer laminated and unlaminated wraps. Unlaminated wraps will require a coat or two of poly. It’s not necessary for laminated wraps but still good to do for extra protection for the wrap.
Any water-based, semi or high gloss clear coat found at Home Depot or Lowes will work.
We do not recommend oil based clear coat as it will yellow the wrap.
