1. Dusty environment

Work in a closed, clean space.

2. Poor preparation

Wash, clay, IPA wipe-down first.

3. Cutting incorrectly

Use protective tape or plotter cuts.

4. Wrong amount of fluid

Too little: sticks immediately. Too much: bubbles.

5. Poor edge finishing

Heat gun at complex curves.

6. Delivering too quickly

PPF needs 48-72 hours to adhere.
