  2. Dry the surface thoroughly with a lint-free cloth.

  3. Position your wrap to align edges and graphics.

  4. Peel and stick slowly, pressing from center outward to avoid bubbles.

  5. Use heat to soften vinyl and conform to curves.

  6. Trim excess material carefully with your craft knife.

  7. Seal edges with gentle heat for a secure finish.
