Gather Your Materials

Before you start, make sure you have everything ready. Here’s what you will need:1. Sticky protective film2. Clean cloth3. Scissors4. A credit card or similar object5. A rulerHaving these items handy will make the process much smoother, trust me!

Prepare the Surface

First things first, clean the surface. Dirt and dust can ruin the adhesion. Use a clean cloth to wipe it down. “Is it really that important?” you might wonder. Absolutely! If the surface isn’t clean, the film won't stick well. So, don’t skip this step.

Measure and Cut

Now that your surface is clean, it’s time to measure. Use the ruler to get the right dimensions.“Do I really need to measure?” you ask. Yes! Cutting the film to size makes for a cleaner look. Once you have your measurements, cut the film carefully with scissors. It’s better to cut it a little larger than needed. You can always trim the edges later.

Apply the Film

Here comes the fun part. Begin peeling the backing off the film. Start at one corner and gradually pull it away.“Should I press it down immediately?” you might be thinking. Not yet! Place it gently over the surface first. Align it carefully. Ensure it’s straight before touching it down. Once it’s in the right spot, start from one edge and work your way to the other.

Removing Air Bubbles

Now, the next step is to remove any air bubbles. Take your credit card and use it to smooth the film. Start in the middle and push toward the edges.“Why do bubbles matter?” you ask. Bubbles can trap dirt and moisture, leading to peeling over time. So, take a minute to get them out.If you find any stubborn bubbles, use a pin to gently puncture them and then smooth them out.

Trim Excess Film

After smoothing, check the edges. If you see any excess film hanging over, carefully trim it with scissors. “It looks easy, but is it?” you might think. With practice, it becomes easier, so don’t get discouraged!
