This installation features vinyl wrap applied to the hood of a blue 2013 to 2020 Subaru BRZ.
In the video, the installer demonstrates how to read wrinkles that flow diagonally across a panel and eliminate them to get a flat finish. Knowing how wrinkles run across the surface helps you determine where to lift the film and apply tension.
How to Glass the Vinyl
To fix diagonal wrinkles and lay the vinyl flat, follow the steps shown in the tutorial:
- Lift the film up from the corner where the wrinkles are flowing.
- Apply a little bit of heat to relax the film and get the wrinkles out.
- Form a triangle with your arms and pull the material out and toward your body.
- Maintain an even amount of light tension to glass out the panel completely.
- Squeegee out all the air across the surface to finish the section.
Working with Aura Vinyl vinyl wrap gives installers a cast polymer hybrid film with German-made adhesive for pliability and repositioning. The PET-backed finish provides a smooth, flat look with less orange peel across panels.
FAQ
How do you remove wrinkles when wrapping a car panel?
Lift the material up from the corner where the wrinkles are flowing and apply a small amount of heat to relax the film. Pull the film out and toward yourself with light, even tension before squeegeeing out the air.
What does it mean to glass out a vinyl wrap panel?
Glassing out a panel means pulling the vinyl material with balanced, light tension to eliminate all wrinkles. This creates a flat, smooth surface across the panel before you squeegee down the adhesive.
