USING D-C FIX TO WRAP SHAKER KITCHEN DOORS
Here’s how I wrapped my shaker cabinet doors using d-c fix wrap. Please note that you do not need to remove the existing wrap on your doors - mine were peeling off so I removed them before starting with the new wrap.
There are other methods to do this - this is the method I used and found the easiest.
Colour used - light grey
*Wrap and tools used - amzn.to/3vSkZ0c

Hi Laura, really helpful video firstly so thank you! I wondered if you’ve had any experience with wrapping like this where the cupboard grooves are curved at all? My Mum is looking to do hers but the groove pattern on the door is arched at the top. Would love to know your thoughts? Thanks 😊
@LauraDoesLife
@LauraDoesLife 3 года назад
NJS I haven’t done a curved groove before myself but this would definitely require a heat gun/hairdryer if it’s the type of door that I am thinking about. I would say basically any surface that isn’t flat, place the wrap in position on the flattest part of the surface and then use heat to mould around any curves using a squeegee or small tool to push into place. I hope that helps 😊

This is a fantastic idea. You did a great job. For those naysayers who'd rather paint I say go with this instead. I've painted and it's a pain and it's messy. Nice thing about this is that if the vinyl peels away, it can easily be fixed.

It’s funny, I just bought some glossy white vinyl to do my cupboards (haven’t even received them yet) and I stumbled across this video. What great timing. I am almost finished with my kitchen countertop, which I covered in a glossy, glittery black. Fortunately, my cupboards are straight with no insets or even hardware so it should be fairly easy. I bought black handles for the cupboards and drawers. My cupboards won’t be as difficult as yours but this video is so helpful - thank you!

You can cover over existing wrap, there is no need to sand down. Just make sure the surface is clean. An existing grain shouldn’t show through as dc fix is quite a good thickness. It’s holding up really well around my oven so the heat isn’t causing any damage, I think it is heat resistant up to a certain temperature. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching 😊

Question for you since this looks like such a good idea. I am very patient and like detailed work....but....I have intricate crown mold at the top of my kitchen cabinets that have a fancy rope/braid pattern on it. Would this vinyle take on that shape? My concern is if I can do all of the cabinet and doors with the available white of this material, but have to paint the crown mold on the cabinets, it might look odd (painted surface and color difference side by side with the wrapped doors). I would have to be able to wrap the crown mold in order to match the color and finish. Love to hear back from you on this!
@LauraDoesLife
@LauraDoesLife 4 года назад
Hi Donna, if you have the patience it should work but l would definitely recommend using heat on it with a hairdryer and probably use something like a cotton earbud or orange stick to push the vinyl into place into the crevices on the moulding. Lay the vinyl over the top, turn on the heat and push into place. Would also only recommend using the Matt finish not the gloss. The gloss is much thicker and harder to work with but the Matt should go on fine, it will probably just take a little bit of practice. I’d remove it from your units too if possible so that you can sit at a table whilst doing it ☺️

@LauraDoesLife
@LauraDoesLife 4 года назад
Kelly Morgan so far it’s holding up well but it’s only been on a month or so. I would say if you are going to paint then make sure you put a varnish over the top so that is more durable when wiped down. The wrap is easy to clean but I would say keep some spare in case you need to make any repairs further down the line. I scratched some of the cupboards when I was fitting new worktops but was easy to fix with a new piece of wrap. Have you seen the full completed kitchen with new worktops?

Hi Anne Marie - bubbles are easy to sort, just get a small pin or needle and prick into the top of the bubble then go over with the squeege and they should come straight out! If you’re getting a lot you maybe be working it too fast, try holding the wrap up off the surface and only let it touch the surface when you are ready to smooth over with the squeegee. Hope that helps! 😊

Yes contact paper! It just takes practice, once you’ve got a couple of doors out of the way it gets easy!

I’ve painted cabinets and this looks less tedious actually definitely less messy and less steps
@LauraDoesLife
@LauraDoesLife 4 года назад
Definitely easier! Painting would have taken priming, 2-3 coats and a few coats of varnish. I like the finish with this too! Visible brush stroke would have driven me crazy!

Lol. When U said air bubbles at first I thought u said herbivores. Obviously my accent is different then yours. By the way, your cabinets are beautiful. You’ve got great attention to detail

I have bar high table and a 6 cub storage unit (Target) in the corner of my living room. I would like to make them the same color in a wood finish. Problem: table has beveled edge and a circular edge in front!!! Any ideas.???
@LauraDoesLife
@LauraDoesLife 4 года назад
Bevelled edges are slightly more difficult, definitely use a heat gun or hairdryer and cut the edges so they bling at the fold. Maybe also cut separate pieces and try to join them?

if u overlap edges u can double cut so it's leaves no gaps

I think this is the one. I had purchased in store at B&Q www.vinylwarehouse.co.uk/45cm-d-c-fix-matt-light-grey-sticky-back-vinyl-200-2020-from-1m-to-15m-12316-p.asp

how long does this wrap last, has it peeled off yet on the edges
@LauraDoesLife
@LauraDoesLife 4 года назад
No it’s not peeling yet, I’d say you’d get a few years out of it definitely. If you can master doing it in one whole piece rather than in sections like I’ve done her then I’d say you’d probably get longer out of it!

Where can I buy the D-C Fix Vinyl Wrap? Is it sold in USA?
@LauraDoesLife
@LauraDoesLife 4 года назад
I’m not sure if you can buy it in the US - I know that there are people who sell it on Amazon, but it’s more expensive than what it is in stores. There are other sticky back plastics that will do exactly the same job on Amazon, I’m sure there will be some that ship to the US - thanks for watching 😊

I like the little red Honda brand ruler. Where did you find that? I’m in the US, I did a Google search, and it doesn’t appear anywhere at all. Cool piece. Lovely work by the way.

javie793 thank you. No idea where the ruler is from it just appeared in my tool box one day 😊

I’m a big fan of Honda Formula One Racing, that’s why noticed it. I would clean the plaster, or paint that’s on the edge, it seems like it’s a rare little item. Love you’re videos. Take care.😊✌🏻

I’m a little late to the party but wow, I didn’t even know this was a possibility! You did an absolutely fantastic job! I live in an older home in the historic district of town and our home has all the original woodwork, trim, hardwood floors, stain glass windows, etc., and they’re all really beautiful. However, the dark mahogany color of the woodwork/trim really limits our options for trying new wall colors. I’ve always wished we could somehow change the color of the woodwork without actually painting over the original...can’t imagine ever doing that. So after seeing your video, I’m now wondering if something like what you used would make this a possibility...🤔
@LauraDoesLife
@LauraDoesLife 3 года назад
Yes you totally could cover over the woodwork! I feel the same sometimes about painting woodwork this product does peel off and doesn’t cause any damage. It’s a lot quicker and less messy than painting too! ☺️
