Review on Avery Dennison SW900 447-S ColorFlow Gloss Rising Sun Supreme Wrapping Film Vinyl Vehicle Car Wrap Sheet Roll - (12&#34 by Nick Brunner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy to work with, not comparable to window tinting

My first vinyl, but I expected it to be heavier. it is forgiving and allows trapped air to be pushed out easily. I make fairings for my bike. The nose of my bike is quite a large area with a lot of curves. The change of direction that I had to pull through on this film struck me as how well done it was. There are a few wrinkles but they are minimal and that's about it. Pretty extreme form for something like that. Working with a curved heat gun, make a few inches as much as possible, and if there are air pockets (and almost creases), heat and let cool. Pull the packaging. and stretch it back. Do not apply heat to the area where the wrap is being compressed! Don't be afraid to cut out the areas that are giving you wrinkles and layer them on top of each other to gently flex the curves. The overlap is not that noticeable. Be careful when heating the seams because if you overheat them they may pucker. If you're making multiple flat surfaces, I don't see how you can screw that up.

Pros
  • Vinyl
