Pet protective film using steps

1. Prepare an appropriately large, flat workspace -- larger than the object to be protected -- that is clean and free of dust, liquids or contaminants.

2. Place 4.5 feet of double-sided tape near each end of your workspace... About eight and a half feet apart. These will be used to hold the film, not to protect the material.

3. With the adhesive facing up, unfold a short stretch of protective film. Make sure it is smooth and wrinkle-free, and place the loose end evenly on one of the two sides of the tape.

4. Continue to unfold the protective film and place it along the length of the work surface not far from the other double-sided tape.

5. Now, roll the film and place it over the double-sided tape. Be careful not to pull the end of the original connection out of the tape, adjust the direction of the film, make sure that the film is straight, no wrinkles, reasonably tight, but not so tight that the film will shrink later. (When the film is stretched during use, the edges tend to pull up as the film tries to return to its original shape.)

6. Place the film on the second piece of double-sided tape.

7. Using a box cutter, cut the reel from the film that is now waiting to receive the sheet to be protected.

8. Place one edge of a piece of material on one or both sides of the protective film. Place it in a position where the film is held by double-sided tape.

9. Gradually place the part on the adhesive film. Note: If the material is flexible, when you place it on the film, bend it slightly to curl it up and allow air to escape between the material and the film.

10. To ensure that the sheet adheres to the film, pressure is applied to the material, especially along all edges, to ensure good adhesion. A clean paint roller may be used for this purpose.

11. Use a utility knife to trace the outline of the protective film and cut off any excess film. Delete the excess and deal with it.

12. Flip the section carefully and apply pressure directly to the film if necessary, working from the center outward to ensure that the entire area adheres well.

13. Inspect a completed piece that is complete and wrinkle-free.
