From Harry Potter to Shakespeare – some of the great works of world literature can be found in almost every home library. For real bookworms, the “home” for their favorite stories is often just as important as the books themselves. In other words, bookshelves are lovingly decorated and, of course, regularly dusted. Anyone looking to give their home library a bit more loving care will treat it to that certain extra – a special makeover: for example, with the d-c-fix “Wild Oak Wood” adhesive film.

Before & after effect
Let's go!
Step 1
To begin with, the surfaces to be covered are measured using a yard stick.
Step 2
The dimensions are then transferred to the backing paper of the adhesive film, leaving a little overhang. Pay attention to the direction of the grain of the wood.
Step 3
Then cut the various pieces of adhesive film to size using a ruler and a utility knife.
Step 4
Peel the backing paper off of the foil and stick the piece of foil onto the fitting surface. To do this, apply the adhesive film, press it down with the palm of your hand and then smooth it in place using the smoothing blade.
Step 5
Carefully cut away any excess adhesive film along the edges using the utility knife.
Done!
