After wrapping and drying the edges, the next step involves using a heat gun to ensure the edges are properly sealed. Here are the key points:
Wrap the edges with a towel and apply heat using a heat gun, hairdryer, or steam cleaner.
Move the heat source along the edge with even pressure, avoiding excessive heat.
Check for any areas that haven't stuck down properly during the heating process.
Focus on both exposed edges and areas that have been folded to ensure everything is securely sealed.
Exposed edges are more likely to lift, so it's crucial to seal all edges properly.
Apply heat to wrapped edges as well to prevent any potential lifting.
By following these steps, you can effectively seal the edges of the wrapped surface, ensuring a professional finish and helping to avoid dirt and road grime from building up underneath the edge which would be difficult to clean out. It's a crucial step that can't be forgotten, before this stage, the panel may look finished but sealing is a crucial last step.
