SUPPLIES NEEDED

Each kit will equip you with 1 squeegee, 1 cutting blade and a Center Hinge (pre-cut tape)

You will need:

Cleaning solution (Isopropyl Alcohol recommended)

Heat source (heat gun or hairdryer)

Screwdriver (to remove bindings)

STEP 1

Prepare Your Station

  • make sure you have plenty of room to install

  • Clean off area so there are no dust or debris

STEP 2

Prepare your board

  • Remove bindings, noting position and holes.

  • Remove Stomp Pad and any obstructions. (decals optional)

  • Clean your board off of any debris and frayed edges

STEP 3

Position your wrap

  • Unroll your wrap and place into your desired position, being mindful of binding locations

STEP 4

CENTER HINGE

  • Secure in place with provided pre-cut vinyl strips

  • Place strips towards the center of your board and at the edge of your wrap and onto the surface of your workstation with mild tension, locking it into place

STEP 5

REMOVE BACKING PAPER

  • Fold over one side of your wrap and peel the backing paper away from the vinyl about 1/3 of the length of your board careful not to pop up your Center Hinge

  • Take your provided blade and make a clean straight cut to the backing paper

STEP 6

LAYING VINYL PT1

  • Holding the edge of your wrap at a 45 degree angle, take your squeegee and push the vinyl from the center of the board all the way to the end,keeping tension on the vinyl and ample pressure throughout the stroke

STEP 7

LAYING VINYL PT2

  • Working from the center out, push your squeegee to the edge, keeping a 50% overlap between strokes all the way to the end

  • Remove Center Hinge and repeat on the other side

STEP 8

EDGES/TRIMMING

  • Run your finger around the edge of your board, forming a hard visible line that you will trim against

  • Using a 1/2 inch of blade, start your cut on a flat area at a shallow angle, following your hard edge around your board

  • Cut out your mounting holes for your bindings
  • Do not leave any excess trim that could get caught in the threads of your mounting screws

STEP 9

POST HEATING

  • Taking your heat source, apply a slow constant moving heat along the edges of your board
  • Heating should take 3-5 minutes to complete, vinyl should be hot to the touch

Please be patient while heating, it is crucial that the edges are heated properly if you wish to enjoy the lifespan of your new wrap

STEP 10

REASSEMBLY

  • Carefully reposition your bindings back into their original place and mount firmly

  • Apply new stomp pad or decals

TROUBLESHOOTING

  • WRINKLES

    Any wrinkle you may encounter can easily be removed by lifting the vinyl back and reapplying your squeegee.

    You can use a touch of heat to reform the vinyl to get the wrinkle out if it still remains.

  • BUBBLES

    Bubbles can be removed by poking a small hole at the edge of your bubble and using your squeegee to release the air out from the hole.

  • TRIMMING

    Make sure to cut off all overhanging edges, keeping a smooth consistent cut line along your boards edge. Any lifted edge could result in moisture getting underneath and will cause the vinyl to lift and tear over time.
