Trimming adhesive vinyl
« 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

If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.
