d-c-fix vinyl wrap Sheffield oak pearl grey wood effect 90 cm x 2,1 m - sticky back plastic roll for furniture, kitchen & cupboards - contact paper sticker self adhesive film

I bought this to cover an old desktop for working from home as my previous desk was a bit on the small side. I wanted to see what it was like first so picked a cheap roll in grey wood and figured I could upgrade to something nicer at a later date if it all went well!I prepped the desktop by giving it a light sanding and filling in any cracks etc, then gave it a light varnish so there was a nice smooth surface for the vinyl to stick too. I saw a video that suggested removing a strip from the middle of the roll, sticking that down in the centre and then working a side at a time, which worked really well, rather than going right the way across. The vinyl was really easy to work with, it stuck firmly but you could peel it back if you made a mistake. I removed about a foot of the backing at a time and smoothed it down by hand and it worked a treat (no need for a rubber smoother). Sorting out the edges and wrapping underneath was a bit more fiddly, but I took my time and used a hairdryer to make the vinyl more pliable to wrap round corners etc. and it worked out okay. I noticed a small speck under the vinyl, but used a really shape knife to make a tiny slit a picked it out with a pin, smoothed it down and you couldn't tell.Left it overnight with some weight on the top just to make sure everything stuck well and was really happy with the results. The rounded corners are a little scrappy, but that's my lack of experience! The top of the desk looks amazing, really professional. I'm going to see how it lasts and if the finish holds up, I'll swap the grey for a more natural wood finish.Overall, well recommended

Was easier than I thought and allowed repositioning. Yes it looks fake but it's got a nice grain and does the job very well. Have been using for a month and it looks good as day 1.

I wanted to cover a couple of desk draw fronts and yip looks good, use your wall paper plastic smoother to apply for that no bubble finishH

Brilliant to use very durable just right sticking power

Brillant quality is very good not flimsy was delivered on time and a nice sticker for the courier to hand to the receiver and not leave outside on the doorstep (which a lot of couriers do leave packages outside ) thank you will be recommending this to friends 😄

Very easy to use but once down it marks/scratches very easily

After first ordering a white, which turned out to be pearl, I ordered this grey, it's absolutely perfect. Looks classy. I have just ordered another roll as I was about a foot out with my measuring. As for the pearly white one, that has been used to cover my wardrobe doors and bedside cabinet top, looks fab. Happy accident.This stuff is really easy to put on, I do suggest giving the surface a light sand down first as the tiniest of bits can create bubble. For the price this is absolutely brilliant. Don't overthink it, just get in there and get it done.It's turned my 'old lady kitchen' into a up to date fabulous looking space. My daughter might even go in there now to make me a coffee... You never know.

Used on my kitchen counters and went on a treat. Really easy to fix any bumps or crinkles with the squeegee and a hairdryer.Originally I opted for a lighter vinyl, from DC-Fix however have now settled on the Pearl Grey. Both installations were quick and easy.
