Let’s go!
Preparation
You have everything you need? Then get started!
Step 1
Measure all surfaces of the sideboard and note the dimensions.
Step 2
Now transfer the dimensions of the cover and side walls to the rear of the Tyrolean Beech adhesive foil, allowing for a little excess at all of the edges. Then transfer the dimensions of the front elements to the Uni Semi-gloss gray adhesive foil – also allowing for a little excess.
Step 3
Cut the various pieces of adhesive foil using a utility knife and ruler.
Step 4
Peel off the backing paper from the first piece of foil and apply it to the relevant surface on the sideboard. Positioning the adhesive foil precisely, apply it with the flat of your hand and then press it down firmly using the smoothing blade.
Step 5
Cut the corners of the adhesive foil at an angle using scissors – this makes it easier to apply it around the corners and edges.
Step 6
You can carefully cut off any excess adhesive foil that protrudes at the side walls using the utility knife.
You did it!
