From the edge of the tape hinge, take off the back lining from your Camowraps® and slowly pull it downward applying miessure over the material slowly and gently. Squeegee the area from center outward,d left to right continuing downward. Along the way smooth out any wrinkles and bubblesat are visible.

It’s important that you should not attempt to stretch Camowraps® over areas that arerd to reach, body indentations or tight curves. This may result in tearing the material

cidentally. What you should do is lift Camowraps®

away from the panel and squeegee itmly into the recessed areas carefully.

Once you’re done trimming the material around any obstruction you can find, use an air release tool or pin ntly and then push all of the air out of the bubbles. Or you can opt to squeegee toward the puncture.

If you have to contend with lots of curves and dents when installing Camowraps® on your vehicle, use a heat gun or hair plicator brush to work out the wrinkles and bunches. Remember to apply low temperature only. Just heat it slat source several inches away from the material and smooth Camowraps® over your vehicle panels.

When making relief cuts for contoured edges and curves cut slits at the edge of theaterial and overlap them so that one piece covers the other. The pieces should normally erlap at least ¼ inch to ensure proper coverage. Press the edges together firmly withur fingers and apply slight heat.

. Once you have completed the installation check and see if there are any air bubbles,rinkles or areas that need further attention. If there are, use firm pressure and heaten squeegee or brush out areas until smooth.

you’re satisfied with your work, reinstall all obstructions that you’ve earlier removed.
