Features
Solarfilm Solartrim in Metflake Blue is a premium quality, glossy trim film designed for hobbyists and model makers seeking to add vibrant color and detail to their creations. This film is incredibly thin and flexible, supplied on a convenient paper support backing which facilitates ease of handling and cutting. Its sticky-back adhesive ensures fast and straightforward application, making it an excellent choice for those aiming to achieve a professional finish on their projects.
Key Features
One of the main attributes of this trim film is its versatility in decorative applications. Perfect for color decoration, users can easily cut out letters, insignia, or custom shapes for personalizing film-covered models. For optimal results, the film should be applied to smooth, clean surfaces. Due to its delicate nature, the adhesive does not bond well to rough or textured finishes, such as Solartex covering, so users should ensure their models have a suitable surface before application.
Compatibility and Molding Capability
Solartrim is ideal for use on a variety of model types, especially where a sleek and colorful appearance is desired. It is not recommended for use on uneven or textured surfaces. For advanced modelers, Solartrim can be carefully heated and stretched to conform around curved areas, like wing tips, similar to how traditional Solarfilm is applied, allowing for creative and seamless decoration on three-dimensional shapes.
Application Methods
Application is highly customizable. Users begin by outlining their desired shapes on the reverse side of the support paper, then cutting them out. The film can be applied dry by simply peeling and pressing, or wet by floating onto the surface with soapy water, akin to applying a water slide transfer. The wet method is particularly effective for larger or more intricate shapes, as it allows for repositioning and minimizing air bubbles or wrinkles during placement.
Size and Packaging
Each roll of Solartrim is supplied in a convenient size of 0.91 meters by 0.33 meters (12 x 36 inches), providing ample material for multiple projects. The generous roll length ensures that users will have sufficient film on hand for both small and large scale applications, whether working on single models or undertaking bulk decorative projects.
