The d-c-fix Sticky Back Plastic is a premium self-adhesive vinyl film that is easy to apply to furniture, doors, walls, bench tops, appliances and more.

If you are unsure of what design to choose for your project, we recommend that you order a sample first.

Follow these steps to calculate how much self-adhesive vinyl a project requires:

1. Measure the width of the surface including the edges you would like to cover. Add 8cm for the excess trim. This determines the width of the roll you require (eg 54cm wide surface + 8cm trim = 62cm. Round this up to the closest roll width which is a 67.5cm wide roll).
2. Measure the length of all surfaces including the edges you would like to cover and add 8cm of excess trim for each surface. This determines how many meters you need. (e.g 170cm + 8cm = 178cm (1.78m). Round this up to the closes roll length which is a 2m long roll.
3. The standard sizes of the rolls are 2m and 15m. It is best to use one length for each surface. If you need to add two pieces together then our wood grain designs will hide the joins the best.
4. We always recommend to add a bit extra than what you need as sometimes mistakes happen, although we prefer to call them practice rounds.
5. If you are unsure, we are always happy to help. Please send us your images and measurements of each surface.

Here is a general guide of approximately how much vinyl the most common projects require:

Appliance: 67.5cm x 2m or 1.5m roll
Fridge, dishwasher, washing machine
Bathroom Vanity: 2 x 45cm x 2m roll
Small single vanity with two doors and two side panels
Bench top: 67.5cm x 2m roll
Standard bench top 1.8m long x 60cm wide

2m long and up to 85cm wide
Kitchen Cupboards: 67.5cm x 15m roll

For a successful installation you will need:

• grease remover (e.g. sugar soap)
• tape measure
• application kit (craft knife & squeegee)
• pen

To achieve the best result we recommend that the sticky back plastic is applied with our application kit. The applicator has a velvet edge which gives a smooth application that won't damage the surface.

Save time and order from our carefully selected tools.

The vinyl is very easy to apply just:

1. start with a clean and completely dry surface
2. fold down a few cm of the backing paper and stick the exposed area to the surface
3. pull the backing paper with one hand and use a squeegee in the other hand
4. start from the centre and squeeze out all the air with the squeegee.
5. cut off any excess vinyl with a sharp utility knife

Follow these tips to care for your vinyl and get the longest length out of it:

• Clean with non-abrasive products. A damp cloth and soapy water is recommended.
• Avoid cleaning products containing chlorine or anything that can bleach the vinyl
• Avoid food with strong colouring like turmeric and curry spices, grinded coffee, food colouring and tomato sauce as they may stain the surface
• Never put anything that is warmer than 75°C directly on the vinyl surface. Pots directly from the stove are too hot but a cuppa is generally fine
• Use coasters and trivets to protect the surface from heat
• Use cutting boards at all times and lift objects instead of shuffle them to avoid scratching the surface.
• The vinyl can be used in damp rooms but seal the edges if they’re in direct contact with water.
