Single-color boat foils by the meter
In our online store, you can order single-colored boat foils in the desired length by the meter easily and securely online. Simply select the desired color and specify how many meters you need for your project. The price will then be calculated automatically. The films are on a roll and are 1.52 m high. On request, we can divide them in the middle, as half a roll per side is usually sufficient, especially for smaller boats or if you only want to stick one colored strip on the side.
The first step is to thoroughly clean and degrease the surface to be covered. We use isopropanol to degrease and remove any adhesive residue.
Next, you should attach the film to your boat with Crepe tape and cut it roughly to size. It is best to get a second person to help you with the wrapping.
Cut the film about 10 cm larger than the area to be covered.
Now fix the foil in the middle with Crepe tape and fold it in half.
Now you can remove the backing paper from the film and cut it off.
Next, fold the film back under slight tension and make sure that it lies flat without any creases. The film does not stick immediately and you can correct the position several times if necessary.
Once the first side is in place, you can remove the Crepe tape in the middle and also remove the backing paper from the right-hand side.
You should press the film down a little in the middle or, even better, have a second person hold it in place. This will prevent the film from falling down when you stretch the right-hand side over the surface to be covered.
Once the film is applied without wrinkles, you can start pressing the film on with the squeegee. This works best if you first press on a narrow strip to the left and right from the center.
You can then loosen the film again at the edge and stretch it evenly up and down. Again, start in the middle and press the film down evenly with the squeegee up to the outer edge.
Finally, simply cut off the excess film at the edges with a Cutter knife. To get a straight cut edge, it is best to stick a strip of Crepe tape along the line where you want to cut later and then run the knife along the Crepe tape.
Once you have wrapped your boat in coloured film, you can personalize it with individual stickers or lettering.
FAQ
After you have applied the film, you should heat the edges of the film again with a hot air gun and press firmly once more. The heat and pressure will close the air channels and the adhesive can develop its full adhesive strength. You must then coat the edges with edge protection varnish to ensure that the film cannot peel off.
Apart from damage caused by external influences, you can expect a service life of at least 7 years. Scratches and damage are annoying, but you don't have to worry about the film peeling off in these areas. The affected areas can be repaired with a piece of the film so that it is hardly noticeable afterwards.
With a little manual skill, you can also wrap your boat yourself. The films are relatively thick and are therefore easy to handle. Once the film has been placed on the boat, it can be easily removed and repositioned. The adhesive can only adhere properly once you have pressed the film down firmly with the squeegee and warmed it up. Even creases in the film are no problem, as they can be removed quickly by heating the affected area. The film is best applied by two people.
