    I tried to get some for a job but got mucked about by Robert Horne so never got it in the end. Some of the colours have air release channels but most of the stocked colours dont. It it basically a thicker cast for car wraps. Pretty popular in the USA I think.

    I have began using this… have to say i liked it. it was easy to work with and as has been said, feels thicker, so more manageable like a laminated wrap film would be.

    the stuff i used did not have an air release adhesive which i prefer, so thumbs up from me so far!

    Hi

    We’ve used the Metallic silver non air release, solid orange non air release, and the Matt black which I think did have air release.

    All three types were really good to work with – very forgiving and fast to get onto the vehicle. Seem to recall needed a little longer on heating recesses but think that was because its fairly thick film.

    Had no problems with Robert Horne, ordered on three occasions and got next day as promised.

    Cheers

    I’ve got to hand it to you guys! Being a wrapping newbie I cannot even begin to contemplate the control needed to wrap a car without the use of air release! Are there any videos on this?
