Thread: Walnut Vinyl Wrap - Good one?

My apologies for the delay in replying. Here are photos of the cabinets I have made for the prototypes. In these photos I have wrapped them in a 'DC Fix' vinyl finish and to be honest it looks pretty nice.
The issue for me is mostly the edges of the cabinet. If I try to wrap this finish around the edge I need to cut it at the corners so it never looks very neat. This is basically fablon. In this photo I dyed the edges of the cabinet and then cut the wrap flat to the edge. I think it looks nice, but it would be better if I could wrap the edges too, in a neat way somehow.
So my question - can Di-Noc wrap stretch around the edge so it doesn't need to be cut at the corners or is that asking too much?

Guessing could probably get it to wrap round front edge neatly enough and mitre the corners with a knife or wrap per panel:

Di-Noc will go round extreme curves:

As will most of the wrapping vinyls, just 3M don`t seem to make duff products, MDP quote 2 woodgrains one much thicker than the other, but to try wrapping out try some of the sub tenner a meter KPMF vinyl , found a paint stripping gun better than a hairdryer, pro car wrappers use a soft gas flame, can be quite spectacular to watch.
