Helpful Tips for Installing Self-Adhesive Foil on Cars

In the video, Jason from Aeroprotect shows us how to work with Knifeless and Fine line wrap cutting tapes.

If you have watched the video for cutting self-adhesive films by Chris Cook from 3M Commercial Graphics Australia, then what you would see here will not be that complicated for you.

First

The felt tape for squeegees prevents you from scratching the car wrap film during car wrapping or other different film application. It is wide enough to cover the working spot of the applicator.

Second

Use two types of tapes during installation in order not to cut directly on the paint – you have alternative tapes:

Knifeless tape

With the 3M Knifeless Line Tape you can cut the film without scratching it.

Fine line tape

When applied under the film, the fine line tape is highly visible, which reminds us that the tape is primarily meant as a way to protect the paint of the vehicle during cutting with snap-off blade knife.

Remember

First apply the tapes, then the self-adhesive film.

When you work with tapes of such kind, you do not need to prepare the spots where you will remove the film, since it would be very hard for you to remove it afterwords.
After that you just need to heat up the tapes with a hot air gun and go through the edges with the squeegee.
