Can u use vodka and a hair dryer

[@zakterry4988]

I want to know this as well

How dare you even think about wasting alcohol 😂

[@Clynikal]

It’s generally recommended to use vodka and a hair dryer after you’re finished unless you’ve just woken up in Russia.

[@ivangarro]

thanks! it was very easy to install

[@nathanricetalks]

I just came here again to watch the tutorial and wanted to write the exact same comment lmao

[@akabukiman]

Is wet installation possible too? I had very much success with this technique on another bike with another manufacturer's clear frame protector kit.

[@eszterdomina]

Still the funniest installation video ever XD

[@lorentzbike6090]

Is it safe to use a 300 C heat gun on the frame?

[@trailnomade]

Can I use a Hairdryer?

[@janplexy]

Can I dry my hair with a heat gun??

[@fpeter01]

You can dry your hair even in an oven, but beaware that you might visit a couple of docs afterwards.

[@mc0109]

Is a hairdryer ok? As I do not have a heat gun

[@mc0109]

Ok thanks

[@jasonjpl5301]

@@mc0109 have you tried it and did it work?

[@mc0109]

@@jasonjpl5301 yeah it was perfectly fine

[@arronharms9591]

I did this and didn’t get enough heat in the wrap. The installation went fine but layers of the wrap began to separate after a few rides. If you use a hairdryer be sure you get it good and toasty

[@nathanricetalks]

Is it normal that there's layers to those? like i installed them like in the video, the next day it was loose around the edges. So i pulled it off, leaving the design on the frame but the thicker plastic part came off. Is that wanted or did i do something wrong?

[@RavingNut]

Had to mount my top tube protection slotted end to the front, as my bike has a curve there. If I hadn't the protection would have wrinkled and creased.

[@NDemanuele1]

Do you need to use a hair dryer? I suppose it is better.

[@tcw95NZ]

Yes you absolutely have to, it's near impossible to make it smooth on the frame otherwise

[@joecexe1]

can you use a hair dryer if you dont have a heat gun?

[@jasonjpl5301]

im thinking the same question. have you tried it yet and if so, has it worked?

Hi, should I be concerned about using a heat gun on a carbon frame?

[@Leviathandk]

Use a hairdryer ;)

[@Nirvezz]

Fart on it

[@flavienplanas]

@@Nirvezz eat your fart and fart again on the frame. Repeat the process several times

[@wanderer2246]

Just google about carbon heat-resistance. (Deffinetely heat-resistant up to 200C if not "tempered")

[@Model6780]

Mines all bubbles might take it off

[@timtamtom2832]

could a hair dryer work instead of a heat gun?

[@fpeter01]

I always use hair dryer when installing and removing stickers. Putting on Dyedbro frame protection is more difficult than others. But they have the most extravagant graphics.

[@fonzy3636]

Can u still aply this to an old frame? Where there might be some scratches and stuff

[@sorinvladu7021]

With most frame protection, you can do it, but it will be very hard to remove any bubbles around the already damaged areas

[@kramnik666]

i got this. but the ones that sold me it, the have pilled abit in the thingy so it aint that sticky on the paper it came on, will this still part that aint that sticky still glue to the frame? PLS help :)

[@clemensramsl8062]

My top tube is shorter than the frameprotrector without the extencions

[@NDemanuele1]

Hi, I just received my downtube protector. Which way should the grooved end go? Toward the BB or Cockpit? Thanks!

[@NDemanuele1]

I got another bike and am currently installing it. I actually wet the tape with some soapy water. I got that step confused with the 3M tape I installed previously. I hope it doesn't effect it's ability to stick to the surfaces?

[@snarp408]

How did that go?

[@chr1st1an31]

What is the thickness of this? Can't find it anywhere

[@danwilson4700]

any tried to install on a specialised e bike? do you need to remove tcu or can you cut around it

[@MyDailyAdventures-andLaughs]

Just finished doing the top tube in my Kenevo. I left the TCU in and set the vinyl wrap on top of it. Once I had the area above and below the TCU adhered to the top tube, I used a box cutter to cut around the edge of the TCU. Then I used a heat gun. No issues. Take your time. No matter what I did, I still had 2 small (1mm) sz bubbles near the seat post. I’m good with it though, just noticeable for us with OCD. ✌🏽

[@chillinwithchips7127]

Do you guys ship in usa?

[@jbw5485]

Yes

[@AJMTB333]

Can you use a hair dryer

[@m1chaelsc]

Alec Jackson yes it will take a little longer to heat the glue but will have the same effect as a heat gun

[@OG_SQUID_MTB]

I just installed the clear gloss on the top tube and it looks like crap. Follow your instruction and still bubbles .very unimpressed .

[@odingvirtue166]

In my reasearch entry lvl bikes (cheap bikes) have a terrible paint job because some bikes have no smooth paint layer (just pure paint) Compare to high end bikes with paint jobs usually have a layer protection . The real problem with bike skin is that the paint can be peeled off if your remove your film (especially for cheap bikes or any bike without any paintjob layer) Check first your bike if the dry film doesn't scrape any paint .

[@wanderer2246]

I saw a Santa Cruz with pilled-off glossy finish, the seller of the bike said that he tried to remove a protector. So I'm not so sure about "hi-end bikes have some level of protection"

[@rabbitfighter9987]

Does anyone know if this will work on a matte paint finish

[@Leviathandk]

They have a matte version. I got that on my Canyon Neuron. Works great. But the downtube strip was clear. Im not sure if that was a mistake, but it defeats the purpose of buying the matte.

[@Heavymikewimer]

@@Leviathandk same! Kind of a bummer

[@zygevanosmael3179]

For al the people that dont know yet there is 2 layers op protection on these i found out the hard way😭

[@scottpink2013]

Has anyone ever removed one of these kits? And if so is it easy? And does the adhesive come off?

[@thejudgeandthedodger6086]

Hi Scotty, When you remove the films, it may leave a glue residue. I find that industrial methylated spirits works well to remove the glue, and not damage the original paintwork. if you don't have that, then use readily available from any pharmacy, Isopropyl alcohol 70%, also works well. (basically like a hand sanitizer....)

[@scottpink2013]

@@thejudgeandthedodger6086 thanks so much. Just actually about to install this on a new bike! Appreciate it!

[@elkat_bori_pr7791]

First and last time with this product. Don’t waste your money on this. No matter how much I try with the hair dryer it was impossible to get rid of the bubbles.

[@full_tuned]

Very hard to apply even with a heat gun. I have a new frame and I used ethanol to degrease the surface. I followed all instructions but this protection film unsticks from the edges after few minutes. Sticking back with a heat gun doesn't help. If you overheat it, it can separate in two layers. I wasted money and all day. Low quality. Do not recommend.
