Step-by-step guide for your DIY
Preparation
You have everything you need? Then get started!
Step 1
Measure out the area using a folding ruler with the aid of the grid on the backing paper of the d-c-fix® “Uni semi-gloss sand” adhesive film + allow some excess. Taking accurate measurements is not always necessary, especially on large pieces of furniture.
Step 2
Transfer the measurements to the backing paper of “Uni semi-gloss sand” and cut the pieces to size.
Step 3
Apply the Uni semi-gloss sand onto the cabinet with the smoothing blade. Prevent air bubbles by only removing a small part of the backing paper at a time and working forward with the film, centimeter by centimeter.
Step 4
Also cover the edge of the recess with “Uni semi-gloss sand,” but leave out the area at the center of the cabinet door. To do this, use scissors to cut the corners diagonally, then apply the film around the edge. Remove any excess film using a utility knife.
Step 5
Take exact measurements of the area of the recess and transfer to the backing paper of the “Woven Cane” adhesive film. Then cut to size and smooth down the film bit by bit.
You’re done!

EXPERT ADVICE
Small air pockets can form, especially when covering larger surfaces – such as the top and side surfaces here. You can puncture these bubbles with a fine needle and then carefully smooth them out with the squeegee.
