This tutorial demonstrates two corner wrapping techniques on a silver car panel using vinyl wrap. The video shows how different installation methods can achieve the exact same clean corner result on vehicle panels.
First Corner Technique
For the first technique, start by heating the vinyl material up. Use both thumbs to snap the corner firmly over the edge. After snapping the material, make sure the bottom side of the panel is fully tacked to secure the film in place. Complete the first method by post-heating the corner.
Second Corner Technique
For the second technique, heat the corner up before pulling the material over the corner edge. Once the film is pulled over, tack down the bottom side. Next, heat the corner again to allow the vinyl material to shrink. After the film has cooled down, cut right on the bottom side of the corner. Finish the process by post-heating the corner.
Aura Vinyl produces cast polymer hybrid vinyl wrap with German-made adhesive and a PET-backed finish for smooth edge wrapping.
