Review on 🦏 RHINOC DIY XPO 3MIL Mahogany Wood Grain Vinyl Wrap - Ideal for Cars, Furniture, and Appliances (3ft x 48 Inch) by Scott Goff

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Needs practice but very good quality

Works like any other vinyl. You have to take it piece by piece and heat it with a heat gun and file it down gently with a felt edge squeegee and then move on to the next piece and try to go 0.5 x 6 cm for the heavily curved areas and you'll be able to file it down. Trying too much at once will lead to overstretching and poor styling. If you apply it like any other vinyl, it works very well. You will lose some texture if you have to corner very hard like my wheel and shifter, but if you have patience it will be smooth and lay down well. He's pretty sticky. I recommend learning from something small and leaning with curves, how to add warmth and slowly moving along the curve. In some places you'll want to hold the vinyl on both sides once it's heated and stretch it slightly across the surface like I did with the switch. Overall I am very satisfied and it works as it should. Just remember to keep warm when trying to stretch. When cold, it breaks due to stiffness. It will repair itself a little after being stretched if you release the stress and reheat it.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Some problems
