Preparation
You have everything you need? Then get started!
Step 1
Measure the width and length of the glass inserts for the lantern.
Step 2
Mark the measured values on the back of the d-c-fix Miraflores window foil using a pencil.
Step 3
Use the utility knife to cut the foil along the marking with a 1 mm deduction.
Step 4
Now peel off the backing film from the window foil.
Step 5
Now apply the foil to the glass surface of the lantern, which has previously been sprayed with water or application fluid, smooth it down firmly – and finally use the smoothing blade to squeeze out the trapped excess liquid.
Step 6
For the decorative finish, draw shapes as desired for the golden accents on the reverse side of the d-c-fix high-gloss gold adhesive foil, cut them out, and attach them to the lantern.
You did it!
