Any trick to rolling edges?

ive not done much , but ive learned this , if u doing interior parts. that u have cleaned with silicone cleaning , wash them in dawn dish washing liquid first and let it sit in the water with the dawn for as long as u can . it helps make the stuff stick . but ya a heat gun and another person to help and the stuff is pretty forgiving.

maybe sand off the texture and shoot some filler primer and adhesive promoter on it.

Just a heads up
make sure you use the heat for shrinking not stretching, if you use the heat for stretching, it does have a memory and it will start to shrink and leave bad edges
also primer 94 will help it stick in deep concaves and hard areas
Use 3M material, if you skimp on bad vinyl it'll get ya in the end. 3M has perforated wrap vinyl and releves bubbles without any poking
Dont use water to apply
:wink:
