Application & Adhesion Issues
Can vinyl skins damage devices?
No — good vinyl is safe.
Quality vinyl
- Does not scratch
- Leaves no glue residue
- Protects from daily wear
Damage usually happens only with cheap vinyl or sharp removal tools.
Why are the edges peeling after application?
Edges peel when surface preparation is poor.
Fix
- Clean the device with isopropyl alcohol
- Press edges firmly after application
- Use mild heat to activate the adhesive
Why is vinyl not sticking properly?
Poor adhesion happens on difficult surfaces.
Common causes
- Dust or oil
- Rubberized or textured finishes
Fix
- Clean thoroughly
- Use cast vinyl with stronger adhesive
- Apply gentle heat for better bonding
Can vinyl shrink over time?
Yes — low-grade vinyl can shrink.
Fix
- Use cast vinyl only
- Do not overstretch during application
- Heat-seal edges lightly after installation
