A perfect glass comes down to understanding tension. This video on a silver 1998-2006 Audi TT shows what uneven tension does to a panel and how to get it right.
What goes wrong
- Hold too much tension one way or the other and soft wrinkles flow across the panel.
How to glass it
- Lift the film and hold an even amount of tension across it.
- Keep that tension even as you lay the film down.
- Glass the material down over the panel.
Tips
- If soft wrinkles show up, pick the film back up, even out the tension, and glass it again.
- Even tension first, squeegee second.
Aura Vinyl is a cast polymer hybrid film with German-made adhesive, made for pliability and repositioning, so you can lift and reglass while you learn.
FAQ
Why do soft wrinkles appear when wrapping a car panel?
Soft wrinkles happen when you hold too much tension in one direction. Uneven tension pulls the film off balance and causes wrinkles to flow across the panel.
How do you glass vinyl wrap smoothly onto a panel?
You must hold an even amount of tension across the material. Balancing tension prevents wrinkles and allows the film to lay flat down on the surface.
What type of adhesive does Aura Vinyl vinyl wrap feature?
Aura Vinyl vinyl wrap uses German-made adhesive designed for pliability, easy repositioning, and fewer glue lines.
