This tutorial demonstrates a dark grey vinyl wrap installed around a vehicle corner. The video shows an installer working through a clean corner wrap using simple workshop techniques.
Step-by-Step Corner Technique
Getting clean corners on body panels is easy when following the correct order of steps:
- Heat the material up to soften it.
- Pull the material over the corner and tack it down.
- Heat the vinyl once more to allow the material to shrink up to the corner.
- Let the film cool completely before cutting.
- Extend your blade, cut right underneath the corner, and draw the cut out to the edge.
After making the relief cut, trim away the remaining excess material and tuck the vinyl underneath the panel edge. Following this sequence prevents bunching and produces a clean edge that stays in place.
Film Features
Aura Vinyl vinyl wrap features a PET-backed finish for a flatter look with less orange peel. The cast polymer hybrid film uses German-made adhesive to give pliability, smooth repositioning, and fewer glue lines during installation.
FAQ
How do you wrap a sharp corner with vinyl wrap?
Heat the vinyl, pull it over the corner, and tack it down. Heat it again so it shrinks to the corner, let it cool, cut underneath with an extended blade, and tuck the excess.
Why should you heat vinyl wrap a second time on a corner?
Heating the vinyl a second time allows the stretched film to shrink back tightly against the corner before you cut and tuck it.
