Thanks for going to the trouble to show us new users how all this wrapping works and give us confidence in new hobbies in our shed at home. Keeps us off the street at night.
Why in both demonstrations did you use different vinyl? Was this to give the demonstration of the correct method a better look? Would have liked to have seen the same vinyl used both times.
Can you use put the knifeless tape on vinyl without damaging the vinyl? We are using 2 different vinyls and plane to use the knifeless tape for the seam.
I have my hood already wrapped(orange)... I intend to put another layer of wrap on the hood (black)... would this tape not damage my hood already wrapped while installing the new one?
Hi there. How do you prime the edge for extra adhesion if your also using the knifeless tape to achieve smooth cuts? Can you use both or do you drop one? Regards, Peter
Question. Is it possible to use the knife less tape to outline letters? TREK. Is want to use vinyl for the inside of the letters so need to use knifeless tape on the border of the letters. The letters are About 2” tall and have sharp 90 deg edges.
Does the knifeless tape work for 3M VS7704 film? We put the VS7704 film on airplane and cut it with knife. If the knife tape works, we will try it on airplane.
Fiat Focus I had the same issue. It is somewhat difficult with no finger nails an big hands...i did notice i only gave myself 3 inches extra. Next time ill make it 5 inches
every knifeless tape demo I see shows them laying the tails of the tape on the underlying surface before it touches the vinyl. What if you need the vinyl to go right to the edge of the underlying surface? Starting the filament cut is much harder that way.
Hi Chris, I am adding some vinyl details to my hood, how tight of a corner radius can I do when laying down my design line knifeless tape? I'm adding two long shapes and one end of the shape comes to a point, but instead having it end sharp at the vertex, I figured it would be best to round the point off a bit to help with long term adhesion. Would I be able to get away with the tape laid down at a 1/4" (6mm) radius? I guess I'll practice a bit too, but if you can advise me on this ahead of time I'd be grateful, great video btw!
Yes, you can achieve a 6mm radius turn with Design line (not Finish line). Use very firm pressure with your finger as you lay the tape down and create the curve
Maybe not pushing the tape down firmly enough so I has good adhesion to the panel. Also when getting it started only push down with your finger on a very small part of the doubled over tape. Only need to push on about 3mm of the tape.
Great video the only thing you failed to mention how too properly start pulling the filiment through the tape itself which was why I watched this video to begin with.
where can i buy knifeless tape ?!?!?! they dont have it at any of my local automotive parts store !? Any one know any place in NY ? i need it ASAP ! thank you !
Should have used white wrap also for the second test. The white film defines the cut edge with much more definition. And 'dont' test removed the inside section - the ''do' test - removed the outside section. Not what would be defined as good 'experiment' control and not exactly an 'apples-to-apples. But some excellent tips within the video - thanks. Have a nice day all. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.
great video , i will be using some KPMF Airrelease Vinyl and so im looking at wrapping a hood so i will be doing the techniques as a starting practise but my question is how do you use the knifeless tape on the edges of a hood and where would you say is the best place to run the knifeless tape ..many thanks
YET ANOTHER VIDEO WERE THE GUY DOESN'T SHOW HOW TO RELEASE THE FILAMENT FROM THE TAPE. THIS IS THE 7TH VIDEO. STRAIGHT RIDICULOUS. THESE DUDES INCOMPETENT
This is the VERY BEST 'instruction' I have seen.
THANK YOU.
10/10.
Thanks for this video! Well shot, great sound, no background music, clear and concise instructions.

Hi Chris, Thanks for the tips. Thanks also for the great training session in Perth
Great info man, will help my home project along nicely
Great videos! Please keep 'em coming! :D
awesome tips, thanks mate
Great video, thank-you!
Great explanation. Thanks

Superb!
Is it possible to do multiple sharp angles. Like points instead of a curve?
Great info .....Thank U ;-)
Thanks!
When you are pressing down the film, could you use the rollers you have shown in prior videos rather than the squeegee?

Does this only work for wrap material and not ppf 6ml film
Is it posible to use knifeless tape with liquid vinyl?

Works with all car wrap?
Hi- what temp do you use with your heat gun while applying the 3m 1080 vinyl? Thank you! Ron
100 degress Fahrenheit. 120 if material is overlapped.
Where can i actually buy one knifeless tape and also some 3M wrap ?
Can this also b use on vinyl that is made for taillights?
Should be OK. Try it and see. if the film is tough use Finish Line rather than Design Line
Had difficulty in pulling out the string without the whole tape coming off. Any suggestions? How do the separate the cutting string. Thanks
Fiat Focus

How to order the tapes ?

I am using design line and the filament is separating from the tape instead of pulling through it. What am I doing wrong?

cheers chris ...clearly a right and wrong way for everything
Regards Brian (Scotland)
Didn't show how to separate the filament from the tape, which was the problem in the first example

How about side mirrors? They seem to be the most challenging aspect of the car.
