To begin, here are the environmental requirements for applying PVC wood-grain decorative film, based on data from the Miaowu official website:
Application temperature range: 12°C to 38°C. Installation should be performed within this range. (In particularly humid areas, the application surface must be dried first; if there is significant internal moisture within the surface, it is best to avoid applying the film.)
When applying the film to irregular surfaces, a heat gun can be used to raise the film's temperature; if the temperature is too low, issues such as expansion or adhesion failure may occur.
When using a heat gun, do not set it to the high-temperature mode; excessive heat can cause the decorative film to soften, creating significant difficulties during application.
When applying the film to irregular areas, some films may exhibit "whitening" (stress whitening). Before application, gently heating the film with the heat gun on a low setting can help prevent this. During application, pull the film gently and avoid pressing it with sharp objects to prevent damage.
When applying PVC wood-grain film, do not use excessive heat in an attempt to speed up the process. Doing so will not reduce installation time but will instead lead to adverse effects.
