How to apply a Wrapstar skin?

1

 

TAKE YOUR TIME.  DO NOT TRY TO DO THIS IN A RUSH.

 

2

 

CLEAN THE UNIT WITH A SOFT CLOTH TO MAKE SURE IT IS CLEAR OF ALL OIL, DIRT, RESIDUE AND EGG.

 

3
 

 

PLEASE NOTE - FOR PROPER ADHESION THE UNIT MUST BE CLEAN AND DRY.

 

4

 

FAMILIARISE YOURSELF WITH THE VARIOUS SKIN PIECES WHILST THEY ARE STILL ON THE BACKING PAPER, SO THAT YOU KNOW WHAT GOES WHERE.

 

5

 

START WITH THE LARGEST PIECE, CAREFULLY REMOVING THE BACKING PAPER AND ANY EXCESS MATERIAL.

 

6

 

STARTING WITH THE LARGEST PIECE WILL ALLOW YOU TO FAMILIARISE YOURSELF WITH HANDLING THE MATERIALS AND THE ADHESIVE.

 

7

 

LAY THE LARGEST PIECE ON THE APPROPRIATE PART OF THE UNIT, WITHOUT APPLYING FIRM PRESSURE.

 

8

 

APPLY ALL OF THE SKIN PARTS FOR THE SAME FACE OF THE UNIT, WITHOUT APPLYING FIRM PRESSURE, UNTIL YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THE ALIGNMENT OF ALL PIECES.

 

9

 

APPLY PRESSURE TO THE SKIN PIECES TO HELP THEM BOND TO THE UNIT.

 

10

 

HALF WAY THERE.  PUT THE KETTLE ON, OR COME BACK TO THIS AT A LATER DATE IF YOU ARE SHORT OF TIME.

 

11

 

NOW DO THE SAME WITH THE SMALLER AND MORE INTRICATE PIECES.

 

12

 

FOR PIECES WITH SMALL BUTTON / SPEAKER HOLES IN, ROLL THEM (ADHESIVE SIDE UP) OVER YOUR FINGER AND CAREFULLY PINCH OUT THE EXCESS MATERIAL TO FULLY PREPARE THEM.

 

13

 

WITHOUT APPLYING PRESSURE, CAREFULLY LAY THE SKIN OVER THE UNIT, PAYING SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE AREAS AROUND THE SMALL BUTTON / SPEAKER HOLES.  LINE UP THESE SMALL BUTTON / SPEAKER HOLES AND THE REST WILL FALL INTO PLACE.

 

14

 

WITH ALL PARTS CAREFULLY LINED UP, APPLY GRADUAL PRESSURE UNTIL THE SKIN IS FIRMLY IN PLACE.

 

15

 

LOOK OVER THE NEW SKINNED UNIT AND PUSH OUT ANY TRAPPED AIR – THE MICRO-GROOVED BACKING WILL ALLOW FOR THIS.

 

16

 

TAKE YOUR SOFT CLOTH AGAIN AND WIPE OVER THE UNIT.

 

17

 

THE KETTLE HAS BOILED, TIME FOR TEA.

 

18

 

WRAP ON!

 

 

To remove the skin, simply peel off slowly and discard. The high quality of our skins means that your gadget will be clean as a whistle and no sticky goo will remain on your device.
 

 



What are Wrapstar skins made of?

Wrapstar skins are made of cast vinyl rather than calendered vinyl.  It costs roughly 2.5 times as much but it is of a notably higher quality. Cast vinyl also has a much higher "gloss point" (it is in fact as shiny as automotive paint) and wont shrink or discolour over time. A Wrapstar skin can last from 7-9 years, although we can almost guarantee you may want a change before then! As a finishing touch, we add a super-glossy, clear laminate over the print. This makes it impossible to smudge or smear the design and ensures it will remain eternally bright and vibrant.
 

Other points to note about Wrapstar skins are:
• Printed with UV resistant ink which means that it wont fade!
• Our secret formula special adhesive bonds the skin tightly to your hardware to prevent any curling at the edges but also allows for a clean removal.
• The backing is micro-grooved to prevent pesky air bubbles ruining your handiwork - simply push them out!
