Can anyone tell me what the technique for applying this pinstripe stuff is? I mean, how do you get it to go around corners without folding it over on itself. It's fine if you just want straight edges, you can cut it and then start a
new line, but I want it to curve. Sorry if my photo doesn't really show it very well.




Thanks in advance.

Al.

There's a limit to how tight it will curve around without lifting, I guess different brands will behave differently also.

I ended up cutting mine, but yeah, it looks great rounded.

Just realised I mistyped pinstripe as "pistripe".

Very apt, given my shoddy effort.

You can make the vinyl go round tight bends with a bit of heat, use a heat gun or your mrs hair dryer (when she is out )

Not to much heat though, just enough for it to soften up. Then you just push it down and guide it round the bend.

you want to treat it like vinyl , get a bucket of hot /loop warm water and let the pin stripe soap in the hot water for a couple of mins then apply it to the suface you are working on , line it up as much as poss then use a hair dryer to heat the pin stripe up , then very carefully stretch the pin strip only a little to the line you are working on while keeping it warm with the hair dryer , when you have done leave it for 24 hours as you can get bubbles apare afterwards and it can shink back a little if you have over stretched the vinyl/pin stripe , just do a little at a time when puting pin striping on a curve and if you can do a couple of practise runs on a bit of wood or a flat suface to get the hang of doing curves as smaller the curve the harder it gets to do

Ok, couple of good suggestions there.

Thanks chaps.
