    Tools and Materials You’ll Need

    3M DI-NOC VM 1693 Metallic Film

    A sharp utility knife

    A squeegee or flat applicator

    Measuring tape

    Ruler

    Microfiber cloth

    Heat gun or hairdryer (optional)

    Step-by-Step Guide to Wrapping Your Appliance

    1. Measure and Cut

    Measure the dimensions of the appliance you plan to wrap. Add an extra inch to each measurement to ensure you have enough film to cover the edges. Use a ruler and utility knife to cut the film to the appropriate size.

    2. Clean the Surface

    Thoroughly clean the surface of the appliance using a microfiber cloth and invisible glass cleaner. Ensure the surface is free of dirt, grease, and dust. Dry it completely before proceeding.

    3. Apply the Film

    This will help you reposition the film if needed. Peel the backing paper from the film and carefully position it on the appliance.

    4. Smooth Out the Bubbles

    Using a squeegee or flat applicator, smooth out any bubbles or wrinkles. Start from the center and work your way outwards. Take your time to ensure the film adheres smoothly and evenly.

    5. Trim the Excess

    Once the film is applied and smoothed out, use the utility knife to trim the excess film around the edges. Be careful not to cut too close to the appliance to avoid damaging the surface.

    6. Finish the Edges

    For a professional finish, use a heat gun or hairdryer to gently heat the edges of the film. This will help the film adhere better and prevent peeling over time. Press down the edges with your fingers or the squeegee to ensure a secure bond.

    Tips for a Professional Finish

    Work in a dust-free environment to avoid particles getting trapped under the film.

    Take your time with the application process to ensure a smooth, bubble-free finish.

    Use the heat gun sparingly to avoid overheating and damaging the film.
