Title: Trimming adhesive vinyl
Post by: bungy on July 01, 2009, 01:25:59 pm

Does anyone have experience trimming adhesive vinyl once it has been applied to the side of a cabinet?  I am using HAPP's black pica vinyl.  I did a few tests trimming with a bare razor blade - it works well on the straight edges, but the inner and outer rounded corners are a bit of a problem.

Maybe it would look good to leave 1/8" to 1/4" hang over the edge and fold it under the t-molding.  Has anyone tried this?

I use an exacto knife and leave a little overhand to go under the tmolding
